I think there are some were canceled flights because of aircraft rotation. Several MNL flights got cancelled already.

Yes, nothing at all. She cancelled her flight - and 160+ other flights - stranded herself at the airport, and made sure there were no agents available for rebooking. Yet, half way around the world I was able to get her on another airline in the AM with one phone call. Maybe Cathay should have me handle their situation

MIkeM.. I HATE Cathay/ Swire Princess/Boards and have been around HK for some time.
I would love to meet any of them in a dark alley, or in the WC at Upper House and have a quiet word.
Sometimes I day dream about it.
Reality is that as a group operating over a 1000 flights a day (X 220 seats per if we average in A320's)..
Would equate to 220,000 people rebooked (per day).
That capacity doesn't exist in any industry; it averages 152 rebooking a minute/ 24 hrs a day.
Not humanly possible.

If the same thing happens in SFO, UA would suffer similar problems.

I wonder how Vera is coping today? Has anyone even experienced a rebooking using this?

I see u have edited your response by removing the bit where you have said you will (rightfully) adjust your self proclaimed title. Rest assured I will first being this to the attention of Oriental Daily who will then verify with CX. It is unfortunately misleading that whatever answers or responses you purport to give to travellers and CX customers (perhaps in distress today) will be mistakenly taken as an official response by CX which is both untrue and unacceptable
Anyone with sense will know this is not official CX message board.

can you show us first your warrant card as CX traveller/customer first before further trolling.

A colleague of mine just arrived into HKIA from another flight 30m ago.
He says there was no issue. A few protesters at Arrivals, but no huge crowds, unlike yest'd. Have to fly thru HKG this weekend via transit.. keeping all digits crossed for 0 disruptions.
