Looks like United pulled a slimy move and dirty politics is at play. How much were Chicago politicians bribed? Make sure to preserve all your documents and emails for the court trial coming up. I wouldn't be sleeping too easy at night right now if you work in the Chicago office.

American doesn’t like the fact that UA is the bigger than them and makes money in ORD, so they are suing over the gate allocation. Old Bobby Isom wants to lose even more money in ORD in the name of “fairness.” Because of this they have filed suit against the world.

This is not a surprise. American has pulled back a lot of flying in ORD and United used the opportunity to add flying. We've also upgauged a bunch of RJs to mainline and replaced A-319s with A-321NEOs. Doing this adds 60+ seats to sell for each departure and as Kirby said, our Basic Economy product is growing rapidly (15% per year) and will keep growing, especially out of ORD.

AA has not pulled any flying from ORD. Are you talking about years ago? Sure, but not recently and especially not since the last gate allocation and as a matter of fact has increased flying. Chicago and United are corrupt. Expect some jail time for your ORD middle managers who engaged in this dirty deal. This allocation will never happen; courts will stop it.

Clearly, the city of Chicago is siding with United for political back room dealings, perhaps enticing United to keep the HQ in the city. Hopefully, the litigation will expose the corruption here.
if AA doesn’t want to use their gates, so be it, but clearly they do, so this seems like a dead end tactic to try to litigiously take them from a competitor. If UA wants more gates, the city needs to build them.

well if anyone here has actually read the lawsuit, AA is pointing out in the AULA contract that gate reallocation was done prematurely. AA’s reduction at ORD the last few years was permitted without losing gates, so as long as they ramp up the numbers in time, and that’s what they’re doing.

United can just coast and get the gates but AA is massively increasing their flying to try and protect a market that has been shrinking due to loses.
Kirby is distracting AA, sucking up their resources and causing them to bleed red.
meanwhile if UA loses in court then they reduce a couple flights for now and just sits back and watches AA drown. And once AAs head goes under water they will get the gates back….and it won’t take long.
