Anyone know when CX tends to update these schedules in the computers and send through CXL messages to other Airlines (ie, AA); I have an award booking for Nov that will be affected by this and AA says that the flight has not been cxld -- hence they cannot protect at this time.
Any thoughts, things to know or "things to watch out for" in regrads to a cancellation on CX would be greatly appreciated -- never been through a CXL'd flight on an award booking

Normal Seasonal adjustment or cynical response to end of Oasis?
The timing is suspicious - was CX doing the usual airline tactic of increasing capacity in response to a startup competitor or is this a normal seasonal capacity reduction?
Total capacity HKG-YVR is going to be down 40% - 50% after the demise of Oasis and CX's third flight depending on how you count capacity from the JFK-YVR-HKG flight.
(remaining flights 2 CX + 1 AC but one of the CX flights is continuing from JFK)

CX888/889 on the YVR-JFK-YVR is usually very light loaded according to my brother's TA office. It is the HKG-YVR-HKG sectors that are usually full to the brim. Often when he checks there are no seats remaining on HKG-YVR vv, the availability on the YVR-JFK vv is still wide open.
Most people who boarded/landed in HKG for 888/889 either terminated/began/made connections in YVR. Goes to show the vast majority from NYC prefer the nonstop.

Vancouver services further reduced.
I just read on another blog, and went to CX.com to check, and it is true!
All CX835/836 flights are zeroed out in the winter.
It means there will only be 2 daily flights to YVR in the winter.
