AA really has done a poor getting their widebody planes similar.
The 763s were upgraded prior to the merger. In a little over a year's time, there will only be 18 (IIRC) of these birds still in service (they had originally upgraded a lot more). They're on their way out. Putting more money into them would be nice, but also a waste of money. Now, if AA starts replacing some of the 332/333 PHL-Europe service with 763s, I can see why people using that service being upset. But I don't think that is happening. (* PHL-ZRH is coming back and being flown with a 763. But keep in mind that service prior was being flown with a 762 until those were retired; and only flown with a 332 for two or three years). And PHL-PRG/BUD was never flown from there before. So it's a little hard to complain about the aircraft being used.
Like the poor 777 still vs the 772 and 77W. the poor 767 in coach to the nice A330's in coach, still using a 757 on long routes like AMS-PHL. But this is a gripe for a different thread so I digress.
There are no more "poor 777s" left. They have all been upgraded. Now, they will be fitted with a premium economy section.
