In 20 years in KA you will sitting in an outer bay with no APU in hong kong waiting 8 hours for your Shanghai slot to come up.
In 20 years in CX you will be a 350 or 777 captain wondering why those cranky KA captains are arcing up on clearance delivery when you call ready for Paris.
Most KA captains are not phased by 8 hour delays. It's annoying but most take it as part of the job. On the other hand, a CX captain sat 45 mins on the ground going to China and had to ask delivery whether he should start food service or not.
