Tablets on International Plane / Domestic Route?

I'll be flying JFK-MIA-JFK on an internationally configured plane. Do they hand out tablets for customers in the premium cabin like they do on international flights, or is it strictly BYOD? I always travel light and don't want to lug my own tablet on the trip. Thanks.

No, no tablets on normal domestic routes like JFK-MIA that just happen to be operated by international config'd aircraft.

Thank you. I figured/feared that might be the case.

While it's not much consolation, the very near future the often-maligned 767 birds that lack seat-back IFE will soon be taking their final flights with the majority vanishing this year and the rest next.

AA has 40+ more 787s on order (excluding the original batch they ordered and have now)

For now AA has put 772s on some of the MIA/JFK routes (with one 763 turn). MIA/DFW sees a fair number of 772s. MIA/ORD is all back to 321 and 738. In the future I would assume these routes (and other trunk/major routes) will be combination of 772/788/789 for a/c utilization and repositioning purposes.
