I think it was discussed when AA split its order that the Boeing and Airbus fleets will each be so large that there isn't a loss of efficiency or extra costs.

And historically AA has never had the most rationale of fleets - at one point I think they had 747SP, MD11, 767, 757, 727s, MD80s and F100s - so Boeing, McDonald Douglas and Fokker.
