JFK T8 to HKG F: any way to efficiently get through TSA's long lines?

Dear All:

i'll be flying soon from JFK's Terminal 8 to HKG on First Class. i found out that Priority Pass doesn't have anything in Terminal 8 (last year, when i flew out of JFK on another airline, Priority Pass had a lounge in another Terminal (not Terminal 8) and they had a side door that led directly to the front of the TSA line, extremely helpful.

as such, i feel like i have no way to navigate the long TSA lines at Terminal 8 efficiently. there appears to be no First Class escorts from the check in counter to the TSA line, no Priority Pass assistance or lounge, nothing that i can find.

may i please ask the good folks here if those who know JFK's Terminal 8 well might know if Cathay's first class entitles one to any efficient way to wait on the very long TSA lines?

thank you all in advance.
