Two new 77Ws delivered recently, so we could expect a 744 to leave anytime soon,

The first scheduled 77D to fly is April of 2011 to JFK. This is then followed by LAX and LHR... so I'm guessing 77D will be deployed to London sometime in mid/late 2011

pleasant surprise
We flew from Hong Kong to JFK on flight CX888 on Wed the 28th and the new business class seating made for a comfortable ride. Our seat assignments were not changed and my husband and I were now seated across the aisle from each other. Wonderful service.

When does CX Plan to retrofit the older 777-300ER'S and 330-330's with the new style seats ? Also, when do they expect this process to be completed ?

Update: retrofitting of the 77A will begin shortly, with six 77As being retrofitted by the end of 2011. It sounds like (although this is unclear) that the 77A fleet will be retrofitted first before retrofitting begins on the 33B (which is itself scheduled to commence late 2012).

I'm flying CX881 from LAX-HKG on 2/29/2012 business class. Is it safe to assume that I'll be in the new business class seats by then?

Retrofitting will also begin in August starting with the Boeing 777-300ERs and followed by the A330s in mid-2012.“This retrofit will be performed
in the TAECO facility in Xiamen and by end 2011 we expect to complete six 777-300ERs"
in the TAECO facility in Xiamen and by end 2011 we expect to complete six 777-300ERs"
So with nine new aircraft – six 777-300ERs and the three A330s – we will have 15 aircraft operating with the new product by the end of the year

Guess I'll have to climb the corporate ladder at Cathay within a couple months.
