What was the date on that article?? Zero plans to phase out the fleet that early. They're in the middle of bringing back the last ~15 or so more out of storage so soon we'll be flying every single one we've got that isn't being parted out. Last I heard was possibly retiring the fleet around 2030, and that will probably slip further back barring another black swan event. We're so desperate to get seats into the system that we're flying the Lion Air 737-900s without wifi, IFE, or the full cabin retrofit.

The 767/757 category flies all the different types of the 757 and 767 EXCEPT the 767-400, due to the different panel, ie. Flat screen vs round dials.
There was a time 20 years ago when Delta tried to lump in the 767-400 with the 777 but the FAA said no.

The 767-400 is its own category. They only fly that airframe, not the 757 or 767-300.
