AA has few "old" 767s left. I think they're 77% complete with the upgrades of 767s from angled flat to lie flat, with completion expected by summer/fall of this year. In other words, your odds of being downgraded to an angled flat seat on the 767 is lower than a year ago and decreasing.

There are also indications that a ticket re-issue, for whatever reason, often triggers it. So you could try to improve your odds by getting an SDFC, for example.
True - Happened to me Twice on long haul - DFW-HKG and HKG-LAX. Both no 2 different PNR.

Careful of equipment changes on DFW-HNL flight 123.

Doing my run today and my new 767 got changed from a new flat-bed 767, to the old 2x2x2. Had I known this was probable I would have chosen a different route.

Sounds like not much has changed from last year - per upthread:
