Of major airlines, only JAL flies 762As anymore, and those 3 frames will be gone soon (if they aren't already).
Most 762As are stored. Most of those still in service have been converted to cargo. Except for JAL's, the few passenger examples left in service are flying for smaller operators, many in out-of-the-way places.
The HGW 752 basically made the 762A obsolete.
Edit: Looks like all 3 of JAL's 762As are now stored. So there are no major airlines left operating the type.

No American doesn't have any original 200 variant anymore. They had at one time a total of 30 762's including 8 non ER's which were delivered in the early to mid 80's, the rest were ER variants. The ER's were delivered in the mid to late 80's.
All of the original non ER's along with 4 ER's were parked in Roswell NM, the oldest two airframes N301AA and N302AA have been scrapped for good.
One of the ER variants was lost 9-11 when it was flying BOS-LAX as AA 011, another one was damaged beyond economical repair in LAX during the summer of 2006.
American is now left with 15 or 16 200ER's which are flown mostly on JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO transcon flights, as well as one daily JFK-MIA. Those are likely to stay a few more years, at least till the first few 787's are delivered.

A pity the 767-200 is "already outdated". I flew Braathens SAFE's 242-seat 762 in the 1980s, great aircraft and a config ahead of its time.
Wonder if a 242-seat 762 would be an economical option for LCC carriers on longer routes? Braathens SAFE's aircraft had a range of 6,500 km apparently...

will be challenging
u can't stuff it to the brink with 8-abreast, its engines are gas-guzzlers, and 7-abreast twin-aisle is the most volume wasting configuration possible

Quoting oly720man (Reply 5): Looking through the photos here, the only PAX one seems to be with Air Gabon
It looks like there are active individual frames with operators in the US (Vision), Jordan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia. I don't know which (if any) of these frames are actually in service.

Braathen's two airframes were unique in every way -- including decor.

Why doesn't AA use them on TATL legs like CO does? Are there different variants of the -ER as well? Are the ones AA flies not HGW and CO's is?

Not since the early 2000s. IIRC, JFK-LHR at one point was flown on 762s, as well as EWR-LHR. Other interesting AA TATL 762 routes included the very pre-9/11 ORD-ARN. CO is still king in this respect.
Anyone recall the last AA 762A routes? I remember BOS-MCO was flown with one in 2001.

Quoting LY777 (Thread starter): Which airlines still fly the 767-200 non ER?
Salut LY777!
B767-200 NON ER:
1. VISION AIRLINES USA
2. GABON AIRLINES
3. KAM AIR
4. Royal Falcon
-S7-ILF of AIR SEYCHELLES is reported to be a re-config. ER version. Dlvd. as B767-205 to BRAATHENS, but at least changed to -ER status during ops for Maxjet! Can anybody confirm?
Quoting ua777222 (Reply 10): That appears to be it for active 762s with the exception of private/government builds.
There are many airlines with B762 around, but unfortunately -ER version's.
