Interesting posts. But we are dancing around the real issue.
Instead of finger-pointing, maybe all us pilots should get together and state the obvious:
Chicago Midway is an unsafe airport for large transport category aircraft.
It is a major disaster waiting to happen.
It should be left to the Cessnas or closed.

Most refer to that as a stall.

Chicago politicians would get right behind a bunch of rich old white guys calling for poor black folks housing to be bulldozed...right?
Ooh ooh ooh. I have a better idea. Close Midway and build a replacement airport out on Northerly Island!

I know it is a postage stamp of an airport and after years of flying in there with poor and snowy weather I think it's fair to say that with a couple of enhancements it'd be perfectly safe. Such as a tail hook and steam catapult.

If that's your opinion of MDW, how do you feel about John Wayne (SNA)? Shorter runways with 2 major freeways on each side. However, it doesn't have the same crazy weather MDW has. Still an aircraft carrier landing for some.
