The 333 retirement was more for fleet commonality and strategy than them falling apart, IIRC. The a333 fleet has the same average age as AA's 772s.
To be fair, the 763s are barely older than either above yet are a operational nightmare. Why is AA unable to keep the 763s in good dispatch reliability while others such as DL can?
