767-200 International Update?

I will be in BusinessFirst on IAH-EZE soon and noticed it's a 767-200 with no Economy Plus and what appear to be decades-old seats. This product is woefully out of date compared with the rest of the international fleet. Does anybody know what the deal is with this, and when these airplanes will be leaving service?

Here's a good resource for tracking the UA plane conversions.

4 have already left the fleet. All of the 762s will be gone by 2013.

The 762's are out. Despite being fairly new, and nice rides, they felt over-entitled to fuel for their economic contribution and thus, are being phased out.

Another way to track all the UA fleet is the site in my signature. It has all of the aircraft in the UA fleet including express. It has features such as a link to flight aware tracking, links to pics, links to seat maps, tells you weather or not that aircraft has AVOD, Flatbed seating, E+, what livery the aircraft is in, delivery year, etc. It's a pretty neat site. Check it out.
