Hi Grice,
AA 173/174 to and from DFW is on a 762 currently. So, unless they've changed something, you'll have the old brown seats. I took this leg last weekend and upgraded to F. I actually like these seats, they're quite cozy. I'm not sure of the pitch, but when fully reclined they lay pretty flat. Not quite like the new sleeper seats, but it's definately better than an M80 or 72S. Note: sometime in mid to late June AA will begin to use 763's on 173/174, so if your trip is then you might get the new seats. And of course on July 2 777 service starts, thus ending cheap biz seats to DFW
