A faux pas from Cathay Pacific or new (secret) Qantas outsourcing deal

A great faux pas from Cathay Pacific in a confirmation email or new QF cost cutting/outsourcing!!! The email to me about my forthcoming flight that includes Cathay Dragon ex Hong Kong, has my flight Canberra to Sydney with a QF flight number being operated by Aeroflot Russian airlines. Has something happened to Qantas Link we don't know about. Any other examples of such faux pas?

Given the newly discovered 'bromance' between CX and QF, perhaps someone at CX has actually developed a sense of humour ? Or maybe it's an obscure comment on Canberra politics?
