I've never visited. One member on here mentioned that it was over a mile away from the other terminals. I'm not sure why this is an issue for VX as the traffic would be more P2P in nature as they currently don't partner with anyone for onward connections.
I'm not sure what kind of regulations ORD uses for gate space allotment, if any. They have a responsibility to manage the space for optimal usage and I imagine that AA/UA could probably do without one gate or two for VX and other airlines clamoring for access.
What good does a removal of caps do when airlines are reducing traffic but not giving up gates space proportionately?
Anyone have an understanding of the system for gate space allocation at ORD?
