AA's 762 certainly has high costs, but I don't think the 763 is quite as bad in comparison to the industry.
Coming back to the argument for BOS having demand for widebodies....... I know it might come as a shock, but it's only the 10th largest city in the US @ 4.5M people.
CHI @ 9.5M doesn't drive a lot of need for widebodies, so why should a place that's half the size of CHI?
When you look at cities of comparable size (between 4.0M and 4.5M), you get DTW, SFO, and ONT. When you get away from UA's hub to hub flying in SFO, there's very little widebody demand.
