I'm moving to Chicago and trying to make an informed decision to stay or go. United and American have over 70 gates each there but don't have the amazing schedule flexibility. Basically the grass is not greener over at either airline...but there is just a lot more grass. If JetBlue keeps the 6.5 gates it would be frustrating to switch airlines for no reason.

Apparently LAX- Hawaii is around the corner.
Apparently EWR will return to 50+ departures……….ooooh but they chose to divest those slots and gates to Allegiant last week …….and that’s not apparently that was announced!
You said yourself “If JetBlue keeps the 6.5 gates”………..
Try to think of all the positives of going to UA or AA……..do any of those statements involve the word if?
There are numerous threads out there on this topic, it ultimately comes down your own situation: your age, age of children if any, years on property, left or right seat………
Just Dont turn down a great opportunity for the FOMO of what at best MIGHT be.

I've heard that but wanted to ask on here to be sure and make sure I didn't get bad information.
