Possibly why AIRBUS has LAND ASAP for failures of 2 systems vs 1 system in which it simply mentions lost systems, slats at half speed. Returning to ORD would also require a probably overweight landing, not a big deal, but a checklist nonetheless
All this being said, this is the benefit of Captains authority, the company cant decide for any of us. But hey, whatever you decide on your aircraft, thats your decision.
And I would add this too, this would be a conversation with the FO. If they were at all uneasy about continuing, we would air return, no question. We both need to be in agreement
