Who knows what KA will be using. However CX is reducing the 777 fleet by 15 B777-300ER and all B777-200 adding only 4 B777-300. Nearly a 30% reduction of the fleet. Will be interesting to see we're this all leads to.

so...exactly what reason is there to keep flogging a 'dead horse' career at CX? I don't believe this clueless management has any idea of the coming crewing tsunami that is about to hit their operation. Their response is to cut and shrink the airline. Brilliant strategy, especially when our competitors are ramping up to historic growth rates. Most of the pilots in CX will eventually make the decision to leave. Just remember, the longer you wait, the lower down on another seniority list you place. Time IS of the essence. What a sad and pathetic debacle of airline CX has become.

Cathay Dragon flying to the USA soon:
DRAGON AIRLINES ORDERS 3 MCDONNELL MD-11S
Jan 04, 1987
McDonnell Douglas Corp.'s newest baby, the wide-bodied MD-11, has scored an Asian sales success with an order for three from Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Ltd.
The US$100 million aircraft will be used on long-haul routes that Dragonair hopes to develop to the United States and Europe.
Most of its plans have been opposed by Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., and subsequently rejected by officials.
The airline also planned services to the United States in 2005, at first with cargo flights and Sydney with passenger flights.
On 28 September 2006, Dragonair became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific, services to United States and Sydney have been cancelled and terminated.

If you would read the above link you would know that Cathay Dragon applied in January 2017 to fly to the USA and got US DOT approval on June 29, 2017.
I am pretty sure the Cathay group would not spent all that money to get approval and actually not fly to the USA. Cathay Dragon also got approval to fly from point to point in the USA for 1 sector before returning to Hong Kong.
Cathay Dragon also provided a proposed flight schedule to the US DOT which they requested to be confidential and as such has not been published by the US DOT.
"The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) announced on June 29, 2017 that Cathay Dragon has been approved to begin service from to the United States under exemption code 49 U.S.C. §40109 and amended foreign air carrier permit under 49 U.S.C. §41301.
The Hong Kong-based carrier filed to operate flights to the United States on January 12, 2017. The DOT approved the request under the 1997 Agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of Hong Kong Concerning Air Services."

Seriously doubt Hawaii with the current KA fleet.
