Ka will never be fully absorbed into CX, it has a lower cost base and CX likes that.
CX would definitely not change the name Cathay Pacific to Cathay Dragon-uugh
talk about wasting nearly 70 years of brand recognition- and while the Chinese may not get cathay pacific yet- it is like Singapore airlines changing their name to Singapore Silk or Singapore Tiger...
if anything Dragonair's name could be changed to Cathay Dragon.- thus enabling the Cathay name to sink into China.
Combining media pages makes sense- to increase knowledge of CX

Speaking of which, should this forum be properly named as "Cathay Pacific/Dragon Air : Asia Miles"

Suggestion
For the Airlines and Mileage Programs page, they should follow this format for Cathay Pacific. Below is an example:
Japan Airlines | JAL Mileage Bank
JAL, JTA, JAL Express, J-AIR, JAC, RAC, and JetStar Japan
Cathay Pacific would be:
Cathay Pacific | Asia Miles
Cathay Pacific, Dragonair
Mods, is it possible to follow the above format?
Japan Airlines | JAL Mileage Bank
JAL, JTA, JAL Express, J-AIR, JAC, RAC, and JetStar Japan
Cathay Pacific would be:
Cathay Pacific | Asia Miles
Cathay Pacific, Dragonair
Mods, is it possible to follow the above format?

Just to add, I doubt CX and KA will operate under one license. You have to apply for new rights. And rights are hard to come by, so CX and KA will be as is. The only change we will probably see is branding, livery, things like that but not to a point KA gets fully absorbed into CX similar to US getting absorbed by AA.

by KA being classified as a separate airlines CX prevents HK based competitors from entering certain route- India ( excl BOM) for example only allows to HK carriers to serve the market.
as said before it has a lower cost base...
