Thread was about check in at QF connecting through to CX so QF staff would have been the staff in this regard. QF to CX is very different to CX to QF.
I don't doubt this, multiple times recently CX staff have at check in have promoted whats your final destination with a follow up of do you have any flights after this CX flight. I've had many seperate ticket AF/KL boarding passes issued on CX stock at HKG thanks to helpful staff.
I was responding to post 13. Your answer provided a policy which doesn’t mean much in practice. I provided 2 firm datapoints.
