What I'm thinking is that they intended on keeping those particular 767s around and some big unforeseen MTX issue came up and perhaps they were cheaper to park. Just what I'm thinking anyway.
If i remember that story and the townhall video they were, i think anyways, have dispatch reliability issues for international flights. Dougweiser said something along the lines of they were working on fixing the issues with the 67 but you might be right and they are deciding to mothball them early.
It is slightly humorous that the few out there have the winglets and ones I have seen doing the dfw-mia shuttle in recent weeks are the older straight wing model.
