Nothing announced formally yet as far as I am aware, but training will be done on ORD-DFW. No new routes are being launched with them, at least not to begin with, so it's fairly safe to believe we will see them replacing B763s from ORD trans-atlantic.

I saw her parked at the Everett factory when I was up there 2 weeks ago. I had no idea it was the first one for AA.
