This routing is much more efficient for returning to the East Coast than waiting for Alaska's midnight and after flights via Seattle, Portland or LA. The flights and connections are still theoretically available, but won't come up anymore on AA or AS booking engines.
now going in 4 days. Not a single one will complete in which an AA leg is involved from MKE to seattle via ORD. The direct flights leave too early for a full business day so will just start my delta flights through Minneapolis
