The FA's were asking all the regulars to write to Gerard Arpey asking him to continue flying the 777 between DFW and ORD.

I am planning to write in since I use this extensively ... if there are others who want to writein, please do.

Agreed it's unprofessional. Sure we'd like to have 772 on DFW-ORD-DFW (and other routes) but I'm certainly not going to write to AA with special regard for the FAs and their domestic bid sheets. Fortunately I took this flight in 2007 and enjoyed seat 1J for a ~2hr flight ^. Doesn't really affect me that its gone now.
