2/21 and 2/22 CX101/100 operated by regional 330
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/b-lbk/
B-LBK (33Z) operated CX101/100 rotation on Feb 21/22. I wonder what the paid J pax/FAs felt! Has this ever happened before?
Maybe in the future we will see a 73Z last min sub to LHR...

never on time ( don't blame China, CX should not be putting long haul 777's on regional chinese /north Asian routes)
Cannot hire pilots
Cannot put seat on a plane on time ( A350)
Cannot come up with a decent livery
Cannot hire decent FA's- the new ones are crap... QF is better
Cannot make a decent profit even though it has a hub at the most profitable airport and by fat the most profitable destination for competitors...
Cannot expand when there are limited slots- hands remaining slots to competitors
they seem to be losing the basics of running an airline
If Swire has given up they should just sell and go, Not Run the airline down to AI levels... ( meh the younger AI FA's are better than CX....)

CX management is proving to be more and more incompetent these days

You did better than me - I remember a regional 330 being subbed for a flat-bed J one back in the days when I was also a DM, and on a J upgrade for miles. They completely refused to give me any compensation.

Wow, I got an upgrade certificate once when I complained about an aircraft switch to Regional. I was GO back then.

Of course maybe CX thinks upgrading the PEY to Regional J as well as upsetting the original J passengers is better than accommodating I-don't-know-how-many IDB Y passengers if 33K is used...

I don't think you could call his post above reasonable... he just asserts CX gets everything wrong from the profit margin to the livery? If he truly believes that, why is he even posting here? It must be torture to follow such a bad airline so closely.

Is Y really so full that makes flying a 33Z but not 33K or even 33E make sense?
