Southwest into MDW - Flow like ORD?
Hey ya'll...So I know very well, first-hand, how awful flow into ORD can be when you're one of the Chicken Littles. Well I'm seriously considering moving back home and using Southwest to commute into MDW for my ORD-trips (shuttle-bus or CTA between the two)...
The word on the street is that there is no such thing as flow into MDW, even when the poop hits the fan in Chicagoland. I've never had to commute so never even thought about it...It seems reasonable enough, as MDW doesn't operate at 100+% capacity daily...Can any WN crews chime in here as to what I can expect on a bad weather day?

Thanks!
