Personally, I am glad to see us going into O'Hare. In my prior commercial flying job, I was based there for 6 years. When I was there, albeit, 10 years ago, the O'Hare controllers were the absolute best anywhere in the USA. Hands down. Gorgeous, long runways. "Standard" taxi in procedure was: just keep moving your aircraft, don't hit anything or anyone, observe the flow of traffic around the inner and outer loop taxiways, use your taxi light to communicate with other aircraft . . . . a true thing of common sense and beauty.

I suspect some of our "legacy" Captains will have problems with O'Hare.

Also, I never felt like O'Hare was in anyway a "dangerous" airport. Midway, is a major catastrophe waiting to happen. Hot summer day . . . heavy weight . . . . flaps 25. . . . . you know exactly what I am talking about. It may be "legal" but that is about all it is. . . .
