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.

John, the point is that nothing at Chicago changes here. Certain airlines have
shifted their schedules, but the total load at Chicago stays the same. In fact, if
American et.al. have shifted flights to less busy periods, the total traffic into/out
of Chicago has probably *increased*. O'Hare capacity hasn't decreased because of
Meigs.
