Where did you read that? I doubt it. The last "rumor" was that the 777-200 fleet was slowly going to be put out to pasture as they came up on their D checks because the maintenance cost too much $$$...which makes sense because they're around 25 years old now and can't really do anything for AA that the 787 can't. Unless there's something on the financial side (leases, sales, costs) that I'm unaware of, I seriously doubt AA is going to add a third widebody fleet to get 15 jets back on the property (the size of the 332 fleet when it was retired 3 years ago). Is there even a 330 sim on the property anymore? Or was that a US Air sim they got rid of? With the cancellation of US AIrs order for 22 A350s I wouldn't expect to see any airbus widebodies in the fleet...and with the increasing focus of AA as a domestic airline that probably fits the bill.
