I wonder what routes would make sense even if isolated at ORD away from their MDW hub.
Unless it were kept to the same scale as Spirit and other discounters at ORD, UA and AA would scream bloody murder about this.

Cities with enough intl connecting traffic and strong o&d (obviously) that are already constrained out of MDW would be the bar for Southwest service out of ORD. Not sure how many routes that will be but I'd suspect that they could keep a few new gates busy at ORD. AA/UA already operate out of other airports with significant Southwest footprints, I don't see any reason that ORD should be kept off limits for to their benefit and flyers detriment.
