MDW's runways will never be extended. it would be a complete and total political non-starter at this stage of the game.
the time to expand MDW's footprint would have been back in the '40s before the airport was engulfed by the bungalow belt.
for better or worse, MDW is not going to be any more or any less than what it is right now for the foreseeable future.
and what it is right now is a perfectly serviceable secondary airport that serves as southwest's largest "non-hub" hub in the nation.
in fact, it's the 4th busiest airport in the entire midwest by passenger volume. only ORD, MSP, and DTW are busier in the midwest.
southwest doesn't do overseas flights; their fleet is 100% 737's, which MDW's 6,500' runways are long enough to accommodate.
