I have to visit a client in North Chicago the week of the 17th and will drive or take the train rather than risk CHAOS flubbing up my schedule. Actually, with all the orange barrels (road construction) likely on my route I-69 to I-94 the latter sounds more enticing. Normally I'd prefer to fly into MKE or ORD but the FA labor situation is too unsettled right now for me to risk being stuck in DTW unable to connect to either terminating point.

My next trip on NWA (to SAN) isn't scheduled until late August, which by then I'm hopeful that the FAs and NWA will have resolved their differences favorably.
