You’ll probably get BWI anyway, but bidding into MDW for the next few months may help you see the light sooner.
Appreciate the info. Commuting to MDW looks to be a lot more tolerable than only a flight or 2 going to BWI. I’m guessing ATL is probably still unattainable for quite awhile? That would be the only other easy commute as I could use DAL out of DAY to get there several flights each day. AA and UAL out of DAY could get me to ORD on a bunch of flights but didn’t look like there is a viable way to make the trip from ORD-MDW very feasible.
