In addition to GRU mentioned above, LAX-PVG is now a 787-8, and management told employees recently that LAX would become one of the largest (if not the primary) AA 787 bases in the network as more flights to Asia are begun.
I have to believe that LAX-NRT is a perfect route for a 787, as AA has never made money on that route. The 787 might even open up the possibility of LAX-CDG plus it would make more sense for AA to fly LAX-MAD than IB, perhaps with a 787. And throw in a MIA turn or two if necessary to keep them busy.
