Guess you didn't read my post???

I just 'quoted' AW&ST. If you have an argument then write them and
fight it out. Don't shoot the messenger.

As has been commented on, they basically cancelled and rescheduled
7.5% (up from 5%) of their flight to periods away from the peak demand
periods. No indications if they lost customers by not flying when
people wanted to go or not???? Lots of people won't fly 'red eye'.

The news as reported in AW&ST didn't help Chicago.

AW&ST 26 April.

American and United have cut 7.5 % of their flights at O'Hare to
pervent congestion. Dialog was strictly between FAA and the two
carriers. THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND CITY OF CHICAGO WERE NOT INVOLVED
IN THE DISCUSSIONS.

Do you think Daley could go out and tear up some O'Hare R/W as they
won't need as much now?????

The cuts were made because O'Hare does not have enough runway capacity.
Your statement makes no sense.

I also wonder how Boeing feels about the shutting down of air traffic
at O'Hare? Should have stayed in Seattle (.

Why would Boeing care? They sell airplanes, they don't operate an airline.
OBTW, airtraffic was not shut down. I have no idea where you came up with
that nonsense. For the most part prime time flights were simply
re-scheduled to off hours to reduce late departures.
