Also, even though PMCO didn't have an abundance of widebodies, as pointed out by bmvaughn, especially after the retirement of the DC-10s, CO made do with their 752s and 737s out of EWR and IAH to Europe and Latin America, respectively, and they clearly did well. I personally have never taken a flight on CO in my life, but from what I've been told, the 752 TATL service is quite nice. But I digress...

As for your comment about the 735s in the wiki, I see that a.nut says there are 31, but by our count, there are 29. Perhaps a.nut is still including some of the ones that were supposedly sold/retired? Anyway, you can check my list of retired aircraft since Oct. 1 to see if that's the case:
