AA AIRBUS FLEET

I have been reading the interesting debate on the pro pilots forum on AA 742 and the allusion therein to AA587. I think that AA no longer use Airbus (is that right?) and if so was the decison to do so a direct consequence of the accident i.e that the airline had doubts about the structural integrity of the aircraft or even passenger perception of it? I know that many of the pros are adamant that the rudder inputs were the crucial factor and that the outcome would have been the same for a Boeng equivalent. Apologies if this has all been aired elsewhere- grateful for any info.

Thanks
