US just reported their financials for the most recent quarter and overall they were strong - but they weren't as strong as they were a year ago. Employee costs, amortization, and landing fees all grew faster than revenue.
US had lower fuel costs than AA but higher than DL; AA and DL hedge while US does not.

All the European routes were flown with the 767 in the 90's. But the 767 was also less than 10 years old at the time and more or less in line with what the competition was flying
The A330-300 started coming on line in 2000 with large business markets like LGW, CDG, FCO and MAN. I believe PIT and CLT also had a route or two with the A330. Not to mention, US won accolades from travelers for providing 3 distinct classes of service.

Thank you agreeing that we did not start Rome with the A330.
If any stock clerks or off-beat co-pilots have any doubt anymore, here is some OAG history from 1996, with equipment specifics:
