That's the most reliable one. Though there may be some days of the year that are all narrowbody, at least one 767 is pretty reliable every day, and sometimes more than one and an A332 or two. They can rotate A333s into CLT for maintenance through places like LHR, CDG or FRA, which are served from PHL and CLT with that type depending on the time of year (sometimes these go partially or all A332 or 767, especially from CLT). PHL-SJU gets them but they do sometimes go all narrowbody to SJU, especially during the low (hurricane) season.

Widebodies have recently appearing on PHL/CLT-MCO/STT and CLT-BOS/PHX more frequently as more A332s have been delivered and 767 retirements have been delayed at least temporarily, though they're seasonal and always more likely during the transatlantic low season (now).
