I wonder why O'Hare and not Midway. I have to believe it would be easier for them to get access to Midway.</font>
From what I hear the A320 would have weight restrictions due to the short runways and tall obstacles around the airport.

Any more news on B6 coming to ORD?</font>
I heard that B6 was close to an agreement around Christmas but the only gates available were in the Int'l terminal. The problem is that gate costs are significantly higher (2-3X) than a domestic gate, thus B6 decided against it. They were close to landing some gates that UA was not using and owed back rent on but UA decided to pay the back rent at the last minute.
