It looks like the final 767-200 (762) service will now be on 07MAY14, AA030 Los Angeles to New York JFK. Blog post here on Airlineroute.net
Interesting observations by me is that the long gone 6 a.m. LAX-JFK departure is back (Yay!) and glad to see the 6:30 departure out of JFK back to LAX.

Wow, even in summer, SFO only gets 5x with A321T. We used to get 5x 762/763s last year alone, and now we get the same with smaller planes

I expected the last flight to be from LAX to the desert. I bet they could even get people to bid miles for that trip in an auction, regardless if it started in LAX or JFK.

I would be far too concerned that there may be an equipment change as the schedule grows nearer, whether it be an extension of 762 usage beyond 7 May or an accelerated retirement due to the availability of replacement airframes. I may consider using miles as an EXP though, since redeposit fees are waived.

Do the current 762s have AVOD/IFE?

Or, since AA hasn't even taken delivery of the planes, there may be delivery delays or teething issues that don't allow them to ramp up their schedules as planned, leading AA to delay the retirement of the 762s.

I think the 762s also have the GoGo streaming media service over WiFi; if so one could also call that IFE.
