Is there any particular reason why US Airways used an old plane for a very long flight?

When we flew from San Francisco to Phoenix, the flight was just fine because the plane was new and the seats were very comfortable. But when we flew from Phoenix to Orlando, the flight sucked because the plane was much older and the seats were very narrow and had almost no padding at all. Does US Airways do this with all of their longer flights or were we just in the wrong place at the wrong time?

I have fown from Pitsburgh to San Fran on US Air which was well over 5 hours and the plane was brand new, had in-flight movies, and was comfortable. so you must have just got unlucky.

Almost every airline has some older and some newer planes in their fleets, depending on maintenance and flight schedules and other factors, you were most lkely were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
