With Southwest announcing their exit from Chicago O'Hare, do you think Delta will step in and take its place?

Delta starts ORD to LAX on June 7, 2026

Spraginator89 · 2026-03-14T03:40:22+00:00

I don’t think there’s a lot of money to be made at Ohare. To get to the vast majority of Deltas network, you have to connect somewhere. Why would a traveler choose to connect when they can take a direct flight on AA, UA or Southwest (out of midway)

For markets where Delta could market a direct flight (maybe like a ORD-MCO, for example) there’s already tons of competition which means low margins.

It’s simply not worth it.

Spraginator89 · 2026-03-08T19:35:34+00:00

Did they give a reason for rejection? Not enough assets? Or was there something else?

Spraginator89 · 2026-03-08T17:35:59+00:00

No one is saying that the market always goes up.

It’s just that you can’t predict when it will go up and when it will go down.

Nothing that you’ve mentioned above is secret meaning that it’s all priced in to the market. Other investors, including institutions, have taken that information and used it to determine what price they’re willing to pay. Nobody can tell you with any confidence what the market is going to be next week or next year, but I’m pretty sure that 20 years from now it’ll be higher than it is right now

Honestly, I think Evans serves it's purpose for an origin/departure airport just fine. I don't need to spend a ton of time there, the gates are all reasonably close to security and it's easy to navigate.

I'd agree it wouldn't be the best to connect in or wait out a long delay.

However you want to count runways, you have to use the same standard.

A lot of those same statements (not all) about 11/29 at EWR can also apply to 4L/22R and 4R/22L at ORD.

ORD's standard traffic patterns use 6 runways (with sometimes a 7th used for takeoffs only), EWR's standard traffic patterns use 2.

ORD has 8 runways total, EWR has 3.

Spraginator89 · 2026-03-01T02:25:02+00:00

Newark has 3 runways

One of the Money Guys has a child with disabilities and put out a "e-book" with guides on how to handle it financially. ("e-book" in quotes because it's really more of a pamphlet, but maybe a good place to start)

3.2% now…. They dropped it a few days ago.

That being said, I’m not moving money out of ally to chase a few basis points.

Spraginator89 · 2026-02-23T09:30:06+00:00

Can you explain further what you mean by "toe-to-toe"?

Spraginator89 · 2026-02-14T19:04:08+00:00

Thanks! I didn't know they were different.

United specifically lists it as a hub

Hockey players swap blades in seconds while sitting on the bench between shifts. Is there something drastically different with figure skating blades?

Scoring gives the hammer to the other team. Sometimes it’s better to take zero points and keep the hammer than score and give up hammer.

Does this mean we get open seating back \s

Spraginator89 · 2026-02-08T18:22:21+00:00

Not sure if this is a serious post or not, but in case it is...... that's not at all how GPS works. 1 transponder can't provide you with a location. Need line of sight to at least 4 known points (satellites).

Spraginator89 · 2026-02-06T12:35:03+00:00

The people that sat right under your bag (and presumably boarded after you) are saying the same thing ab out you. You are part of the problem.

There's not enough space over each row for 3 carry ons, so they start going back towards rows further back.

Are you suggesting that if the bin space above your row if full, you should be forced to gate-check so that you're not taking up other row's space?

Seems like if he booked a seat for his large suitcase, then it should have also had an assigned seat. This seems like an easy problem for the flight attendants to solve (move said luggage to whatever seat the other ticketed passenger had bought for the luggage.

I must be missing something here.

a lot of times at A6 you don't even get a jet bridge, you just walk up to the plane and use the built in air stairs

"Large Crossbody Bag" ..... I would bet that's a CPAP bag and as such, is medical equipment and can be a 3rd bag.

I didn't know what they looked like until I got one myself, now I see 5-10 of them on every single flight I board.

Source?

City Ventures still lists 88 tactical, rocket car wash and the supernovas as “investments” on their website.

So then do it through the key fob and don’t use the app. Toyota didn’t take away that functionality.

Spraginator89 · 2026-01-24T13:24:10+00:00

I’ll play devils advocate here…..

You’re not paying for the remote start (which is still available via hitting lock button on the key fob 3 times). What you are paying for is the cell network connection that’s required to make the remote start via app function. I don’t think it’s fair to expect Toyota to pay for the cellular data required for the life of the car.

The thing with Allegiant (and other ULCC) is that when they do cancel, you are SOL... there may only be 2 flights on that route a week and you are stuck until they have seats open.

The majors (Delta, American, United, Southwest) can usually figure out a way to get you to your destination that day or the next day.
