I think this may be seasonal to some extent, but when they drew back on this route last Fall, they kept the A330 flight. It's just anecdotal, but pretty much every AA flight I have been on for this route -- A330, B767, or A321 -- has been full over the past few months.
The closest widebodies to SFO would now be United out of EWR, and most of the Philly travelers I know are, of course, very much EWR-averse.
