You were not lied to. 21 of the 35 UA 763's are 25 years or older which is the planned retirement age for mainline jets. The decision to extend their lives was made based on recent circumstances. UA 763s are paid comparably to DAL and AAL, and the 16 764 that are about 17 years old pay the same as 777s.
It has also been almost six years since the contract was signed. You have had ample opportunity to escape the injustice that is the 763.
