Farewell, O'Hare; Hello, Midway

As a Cheesehead who moved to California 16 years ago, I've used ORD on many returns to Milwaukee. No more. Even when everything was on schedule, going from Term. C to E/F was no fun. Add in the terrible delays we've seen in recent years and, just as important to me, the overcrowded stressfest that is Term. E/F, and it's pure misery.

Last trip home, I flew on Southwest to Midway -- what a nice airport! I could walk over to the rental car (no bus), get on I-55, I-294, I-94 and arrive in Milwaukee about two hours after flight arrival (with fairly slow traffic getting out of Chicago). That's about the same as when both legs of a fairly tight ORD connection are on time.

Anyone else buying MDW and selling ORD?
