The small bases always lose flying to dfw and ord during winter season, have no idea why but that's what they do. N.Y. and Boston used to lose 5000 flying hours each and that flying always went to ord during winter months. This way they have plenty reserves locally to cover weather issue days. Not saying it's right, just saying that is what they have always done. Who gets that flying now, this year could be anyone of 6 carriers.
