If the speculation is correct and AC will be picking up some used 330's from SQ in 2019, their oldest bird dates from 2009, so that would start to bring down the average age of the 330 fleet.
rouge actually has a bunch of 763s that are younger than the 333s. The rouge 763 fleet has a handful of >25yo planes, some in the low 20s and a bunch in the 15-18yo range. They could be around for a long time.
