Both PHX and PHL were LUS hubs. The A330 was an LUS aircraft, so this would be normal

Not really. 330s were flown by US East Pilots who were in a feud with US West Pilots. Phoenix is a West base and does not have a 330 crew base for either Pilots or flight attendants

If there is one, it can be found on the widebody cargo schedule.

People here are just rationalizing why AA hasn't gotten around to it yet. There's nothing that makes pre-merger hub assignments optimal as the AA network continues to evolve.
Would be pretty interested in seeing the 787 routes from LUS hubs.

But, PHL was also a LUS hub, so it is not unusual to expect a 330 to fly between the 2
