For all of you who complain about rattiness etc. of AC's current 763 fleet -- go try flying UA Envoy class. I was on a 767 EWR-DUB last week, and felt like I was on Air Gambia. Dirty, rundown, old, uncomfortable, bad food, you name it. Blech.

UA Business Class is actually pretty nice in my experience.
I have to agree with your comments by the way. No airline would install J seats simply so passengers can upgrade- that would be financial stupidity. Anyway, I am not sure what the problem is- if the fare YYZ to HKG is really 10 400 as one poster wrote, making a round trip ticket over 20 000 dollars, there will be plenty of seats to upgrade as all the travellers will be flying in CX First Class which is cheaper

300ER is the high capacity extended range 777 (B equiv to the A346)

How quickly you forget to compare the AC 767 or 340 duct tape specials with UA 777 or 744's

Both airlines get broken seats... its Just AC let the plane interior fall apart... the refit was coming so they have done nothing for over a year.
