What I don't understand is why CX is allowed to treat people with paid tickets are AM tickets differently.
I see lots of reports from people who have AM redemptions who are given HKD500-1000 cash compensation for downgrade from F to regional J, which is a complete joke.
Why should paying passengers get more, when as far as the airline is concerned the tickets are both paid for, just using different currency.
If CX ever did this and tried to fob me off with HKD500-1000 cash I would be raising a hellstorm at the airport.

Of course bulkhead is blocked, so I'm in row 14 at a window.
Yuck.
This was purchased in April. There are no flights on my date with F seats now, otherwise I would have switched. There does seem to be one on a 77W with new regional C, so maybe I could switch to that.
What's the experience with downgrades--ticket issued by AA (paid ticket)-- can I change my flight to the one with the new regional C seat? Or should I wait and see since there could be more changes before December?
Thanks for any advice.

New regional C is not available yet (and they will only install regional C on 773 and 772, not 77w
What you see is probably 77G (J, W, Y 3 class) if you see a 1-2-1 seat map and feature long haul business class seat. However if you see a 2-3-2 seat map then it is going to be old regional J
