FAA stepping in to ORD fight
 
Looks like AA is finally getting the win it needs in ORD. The FAA seems like it's about to slap Kirby down with his petty games in ord. I doubt the brain trust in SkyView has anything to do with this. I would like to think they were this Smart but past experiences show that not to be the case. Either way the FAA might actually be doing their job right for once.

The kirby ballwashers over In the united cult board are already trying to spin this but it's pretty clear to anyone not in the kirby kult that this will end badly for them.

UA has like 50% more gates than us, one could argue (ie their lawyers) that they deserve more flights maybe?

I'm not pro-UA, just saying this may not be such an open and shut case.

Either way the way they planned this out years in advance is pretty impressive, I don't think we've ever done anything that took years to play out lol.

While I agree that this is likely a good thing for AA, it remains to be seen how the FAA handles it.

If all carriers are required to reduce their flights by a certain percentage, then it is fair. Otherwise, its not.

I don’t know why you are celebrating….AA mainline barely flies out of Chicago.

It will be interesting how Tampon DEI Kirby and the corrupt Chicago politicians react.

They are the pinnacle of the profession especially those with the two year upgrades from sky West and express jet.
