Having just completed an AA2193/2194 round trip, I can report that not only is AA flying the domestic 757, it seemed to me to be one of the oldest 757s in the fleet. I was disappointed (not surprised) at the shabby condition of the plane. Mrs. FrogProf and I were seated in row 2 and the back of the seat from row 1 was about half-way off. Some of the window shades were stuck and couldn't be raised. And overall, the plane was just very worn and grimy. I have to tolerate this round trip twice per year and I'm thinking I'd rather route through Miami and fly on the 767.
