you should be correct on that speaking of United Airlines the competitor on that route they are trying to restart it in 2025 UA179/180.
Pre Covid-19 EWR-HKG flight CX899 leave 1:55am EWR Terminal B arrival in HKG 5:30am 25 minutes after the DFW HKG flight CX897 5:05am arrival in HKG 1 hr earlier than CX843 6:30am formerly CX845 JFK-HKG late night. Yet you are still able to make it to a Southeast Asia connecting like the 7:30am CX907 HKG-MNL where you arrive 2 hours after the departure in Hong Kong at 9:30 a.m. in T3.
