ORD: Chicago
AE.. American Eagle
Yes we could use, at least, one more gate at ORD
Cheese Heads & Gophers would be happy with a base there, you betcha... BTW: Go Bears!

Just a quick, cursory glance at ORD, there seems to be quite a few flights in and out of ORD, would this cannabilze a DTW base, or would it be in addition to the DTW base?
I'd think ORD would become quite popular as a base.

Beyond my pay grade to make a decision about DTW as a base. Detroit and Michigan have seen better days. It would make sense, from a business stand-point, to move your assets to an area that is growing rather than shrinking. If I'm not mistaken, there are "other" factors involved with DTW remaining a base.... thankfully.

If Detroit has outlived its usefulness (ie. profitability) as a base, move on, don't worry about sentimentality. 'Course, it is a hassle for those that live in Detroit, I feel for those if they move out of DTW as a base.
