Moral of the story, it's a crap shoot no matter which you go with based on the need for a connection. Missed the ORD flight due to weather and missed the EWR flight due to weather as well.
He's starting in EWR so that's not an issue. Cancellations of this flight from EWR are rare AFAIK (as are delays).
Besides - you have to deal with ORD if on AA.
