Crew planning is very open about staffing of ORD base. They do not plan on back filling ORD. Yes very senior captains have left, but the company did not fill their spot, they let the base shrink. ORD is still a bigger base the IAH, MCI, and PHL, with around 78 Captains though, so probably safe for now.

Thanks? I guess...
I’m not sure where in the post you quoted you thought I didn’t know the makeup of the base or that the base is no where near closing.
As a side note, it must be nice to be a management pilot and pick whatever base you want when if you weren’t in that position you would never be based in ORD. (Not directed at you, of course)

Yeah no idea how the ACP got into ORD. It doesn’t show up on any awards, so who knows.
