CX exercises its own stopover rights on the ADL-MEL and CNS-BNE (v.v.) sectors. This means that chooses to operate those sectors and they can stop operating these sectors if they want to.
To be honest, I would prefer CX to delink ADL from MEL and operate a triple daily direct service between MEL and HKG, plus a 4x per week direct service between ADL and HKG. A similar thing may work for CNS and BNE (ie delink CNS from BNE).

One solution is to convert all the A330-300 (with regional products) to the type with Olympus/Cirrus products.

Wow. You should run an airline.

I'm sure they will, after they changed all the long-haul products and then they can change the regional products. Contrary to what you may believe CX doesn't have cash to throw away like you suggest. They need to do things one step at a time.

There are currently 13x 33B.
SYD and MEL/ADL services take up 6x 33B in total (3x 33B flights each) and BNE/CNS takes up 1.5x 33B (11 flights in total). PER takes up 1x 33B and DXB takes up (maybe) 2x 33B (CX731/738). This means CX theortically only needs maybe 12x 33B.
With more SYD flights switching to 33E, this should free up more 33B which could allow CX to either upgrade some of 33B to 33E or, as I suggested in my previous post, delink ADL from MEL and CNS from BNE.
