I don't see what leverage AA has though. Their gate lease is up in May. Unless they are willing to walk away from ORD then they'll need to accept the cities terms. The city holds all the cards. UA/DL/others would be more than happy to fill the void left by AA should they reduce or de-hub ORD. DL has publically supported the deal. No word from UA yet.
