Haven't been around for some time but had to see what was being discussed on the virus. Along with the coming shocks to IL and Chicago's economy, my jaw dropped when seeing United and American's route cuts - they have prioritized all of their hubs except ORD. I wonder what all this means and what was Chicago at the end of the day for them, just a connector hub? There are ZERO intercontinental flights from U.S. carriers out of O'Hare (not counting United's lame daily to Cancun - Caribbean and Mexico not considered intercontinental). We are literally the same as St. Louis or Indianapolis right now. Yes, some of the other foreign carriers are still coming through. But this is unreal.
These are the only long-haul routes American, Delta, Hawaiian and United plan to fly in April
