In the thread You Can Help United, there are instructions for emailing United at [email protected] to get a sample letter of support you can return to them which they will forward to appropriate government agencies.
Please take a moment to help United in their time of need. I did, and here''s the response I got back from them:

Dear Mr. Marky,

loan guarantee with the Air Transportation Stabilization Board
(ATSB). Your willingness to directly voice your support is
much appreciated.

Sample Letter:

Dear Sirs:

As a frequent customer of United Airlines, I strongly urge you
to approve United Airlines'' application for a federal loan
guarantee as soon as possible.

United Airlines has filed an updated business plan with the Air
Transportation Stabilization Board (ATSB) that includes
significant cost reductions and other improvements that will
help return United Airlines to profitability. In what appears
to be a remarkable achievement to anyone who has followed
events at United in the recent past, unprecedented cooperation
between management and a coalition of labor groups at United
made this new plan possible.

United Airlines was extremely affected by the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks. Being a frequent traveler, I do not
want to see the experience of flying altered any further than
it already has been. By approving United''s application, you can
make sure that the terrorist attacks do not also result in
fewer choices for the flying public. The ATSB must do the job
it was assigned by Congress and approve United''s federal loan
guarantee application.

This is incredibly important to frequent travelers like me.
United is my airline of choice and I want to see it thrive for
years to come. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,


Your Name
Your Address

Thanks,
