I doubt it, if only because 1) They are retiring a decent number of them 2) It is not mentioned in the press release and 3) The space they would have to take up (it would have to be 2-2 rather than 2-3) reduces seat count per row by 33%. Compare that to 787s (22%), 777s (20%), and the A330s (12.5%, estimate), and you can see that 33% is really high to justify pulling seats.
I'm just looking forward to (hopefully) being able to redeem for PE on CX/JL in the future, coupled with slightly better J availability on partners (as more AA FFers choose to redeem for PE).
