CX flights to PVG

Can someone confirm that the CX flights to Shanghai are operated by the 777-300 with the old regional seat configuration?

It can be anything. Depends on the day. Saw a A340 the other day up there.

CX love to use EQV (Equipment Varies) on most of their schedules these days...

EQV or better AQV - Airline Varies!

So far CX are taking 3 daily KA routes. Most guys here are saying its the start of something more sinister. I agree, however you are welcome to PVG any time any place. After all, KA will soon be unable to fufill its obligation to its current route structure due revised aircraft utilisation (I mean reduction).

The fleet reduction measures are requiring a strategic coroprate rethink ie, lets give it all to the mother airline.Remember when KA & CX were in court over this issue? At least we had balls then.

Now we dont need all those pesky pilots that annoy personnel so much

KA is losing two A333s and a 320 this year but they are gaining the same again aren't they? So fleet figures remain the same? (Freighters excluded)

Yes, something to look forward to from 2012! Let the good times roll! (Yes, I have seen the economic news...)

trevfly, minor point but CX are "taking" two daily KA PVG not three, because they've already operated a daily there since 2006. They gave KA all their XMN flights. CX can do what they like because they own KA, the company, its brand, its aircraft, and its AOC...

Mc Dude, you are correct I cant argue with you!
Unfortunatly there are many in KA who do not take the facts as theyare, have their heads in the sand, or in managements case up its jackar$e!

The trainers hate CX proceedures, the pilots hate the career uncertanity, oh what joy here
