By By old gal.. 767-200 now all gone
 

Last flight yesterday. Great times on over 50 flights on her, but have to admit much prefer the new 321's. Step change in comfort in J even if not a wide body. Good job AA.

Still at least 6 or 7 US 762s left.

True but not on transcon's that i was referring to. Just a much better product now on transcons out of JFK. The US one's will be gone as well by the end of the year with the 330s coming in.

No reason to be nostalgic as far as I'm concerned. Good riddance.

Don't disagree a bit with the new product. Should be a lot more reliable too. But it is the end of an era no doubt.

Not that early - 6 will still be left in the US fleet as of the end of this year according to the latest investor update from a couple of weeks ago.

Damn, each one could have replaced an MD-80 or two...

Sha na na na . . .

I probably don't fly LAX/SFO-JFK as often as many posters here, but I will still miss the 762s. I agree that it seems to be the end of an era for domestic widebodies. I'll always remember my first J and F experiences on those routes. Of course, I also remember the frustration with the numerous mx delays/cancellations in recent years.

I still haven't flown on the A321T, and the reviews seem to be quite positive so far, but I can certainly relate to the nostaglic feelings expressed by some at the loss of the 762.

Just glad I got to sit in the Cap. Kirk chair once before she went away... =)

Well I probably did about 20 flights in the 767-200 over the last 8 years approx.
Experienced the Y,J and F many times too. Upgrades on this flight were very difficult.
Having been on the Airbus 321 recently in F and J, its definitely a huge improvement so nothing to be sad about.
One thing that I will never forget too is that one of these birds crashed into the towers on September 11th. I think the United crash in NY was also a 767-200. Strange that every time I sat in the 767-200 I would remember this but if I fly in a 757 it doesn't bother me.

I'll take 762 J over A321T Y any day.

Sigh.

You weren't the only one.

Come on, compare apples with apples --

To me the 767 was a terrible fuselage diameter choice. Particularly for business class where most airlines would have 2-2-2 with a fuselage 2ft or so narrower than Airbus' equivalent. When I discussed it with a Boeing Fellow, he agreed that it was a bad fuselage diameter.

I will have no regret seeing them all gone.
