One less chance for a domestic widebody/flatbed.
Not really. There are Boring 787 -8s and -9s still pending delivery, in greater numbers than the retired A330 -300s and -200s, as Antarius pointed out. This reduces costs for AA by consolidating the wide bodies to 787 and 777s, brings in further fuel efficiencies and puts heavy C checks out into a more distant future, etc.
