While looking at flight schedules between MIA-JFK this summer, I noticed that 1 of 6 flights will be operated by the 777. Last time AA used a 777 on this route, IIRC was 2005. At the time, I purposely scheduled my return flight to ride the 777.

Yep. In fact, this means that AA will have 4 different types of aircraft operating MIA-JFK everyday: 757, 762, 763, and 777! With the 777 (apparently) being sold as 2 class, it's interesting to note than an elite or full fare paying passenger can sit in the "business class" seats on the 777 by buying on a coach fare (admittedly, only coach service is provided in these seats), while in order to sit in these very same seats on the 763, he must either upgrade or buy a first class fare.

That is nice.
But WHY are they doing this starting in the summer? It seems to me that the 777 just does a JFK-MIA-JFK turn, so "better utilization" while perhaps the reason, brings a second question: Why aren't they doing it now?

Actually 5 if you count that one of the 752's are in the TATL configuration.

No, you're absolutely right. I didn't see that, but I would definitely consider the 75L a different configuration since the F seats are completely different. So basically, when the flight is 5x daily (it goes to 6x daily later in the summer), every aircraft is a different type!

I believe for a while, maybe two years ago AA had a 777 flying MIA-BOS-MIA on scheduled service

Probably a 777 that sits in JFK or MIA over the day waiting to go to South America or maybe NRT? I am not sure of AA 777 service from JFK. But I would imagine it is a plane that if not on this route would otherwise be sitting on the tarmac all day.

Finally, AA making better use of the B772 fleet in one of the B772 stations. Being the schedule:
I would say that the aircraft they are using is the either the GRU or EZE inbound that is not required until 21:35 for the outbound GRU. AA's B772 utilization rate will go up with the MIA flight, but the B772 operations in JFK will require shorter turnarounds to cover the LHR and NRT flights giving AA less operational stability in case one B772 goes mechanical.

Quoting SXDFC (Reply 4): Turns around and goes back to JFK.
So does the 762. If you see a 777 in MIA, you don't know where it comes from or where it goes to, because there are plenty of them, buy if you see a 762 in MIA then you know right away it comes from JFK and goes back to JFK.
And yes, the 762 is sold as "two-class" on the JFK-MIA flight, it is only on the long flights to SFO and LAX that it is sold as "three-class". DFW-ORD also sees a 777 sold as "two-class", not sure about DFW-MIA.

No, I can almost guarantee that flight will be used to rotate the widebodies. It will most likely sit in MIA for some time then go onward to South America. EZE, GRU, etc.

It is very nice to see this plane on the route again. I see no point of having a 777 sit on the ground all day.

and sending the 777 to Miami makes sense loads wise and tech wise. Should something go wrong, it can be swapped out at MIA without disrupting the network much.

I went on AA.com and tried to find JFK-MIA-JFK flights operated by the 772:
July 14 - AA 423 11:10AM - 2:25PM
July 23 - AA 902 3:50PM - 7:15 PM
The price tag is only $199.40 (restricted) and it says on AA's website, upgrades are available for OneWorld members (etc.) and Y class passengers who are paying full fare. So i checked the price for JFK-MIA-JFK in full fare and it was a staggering $1,241.00 which is way too expensive for a NYC-Florida flight.

That's your opinion.
There are plenty of wealthy passengers who will spend that on MIA-JFK for a First Class seat. Although, in general, First Class tends on MIA-JFK would tend to be full of elites on free/sticker upgrades (for elites, the fare does not matter. The $199 fare can be upgraded) and international connecting passengers.

Correct. Nowadays i use to go to GIG thru MIA at least 6 times a year using AA and for sure, the B772 is a very big advantage for AA also to other markets such as Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago and even Sao Paulo.
Mark, a small off-topic but seems that EZE will continue 772 year-round ?

MIA-EZE has been a 777 year-round for most of 10 years now. A 763 has subbed on occasions during parts of the fall and during an aircraft shortage in 05-06, but not often.

40 minutes seems like a quick turn for a 777. Are we sure there isn't an aircraft swap in MIA?

The turn around is very short for sure... it might be a swap.
