The industry stinks.Right now my son is sitting
at O'hare.He had a 5pm flight.They bumped
him.Then they said he could take the 7pm
flight.Well ends up they didn't have enough
crew for that one.Now they say he can take the
9:30 flight.I will believe it when it happens.What
is going on?

Great time for that multi-billion dollar O'Hare expansion with airlines on the brink of folding. Another brilliant move by King Richard II!

i'm over on the lake on the northside of the city. not too far from the holding traffic pattern for planes coming into land. i've noticed this past week how many less planes are coming in. it's a good thing in my eyes. i'd rather see less planes that are half empty in the air. not too efficient. absolutely convenient, but not efficient at all.

though, that's no excuse for poor customer service. fill up the planes, but give upgrades and vouchers

Good thing Richie destroyed half of Bensenville to add all those extra runways.Once he desecrates the Cemetary to add one more,all the delays will go away "forever".
Yeah,right!!!
Western access to "his" airport?

Not just bad service, but most of all airline tickets are just too expensive now. Used to be able to make cheap visits to Florida or Vegas. Not this year.
