I agree. I have taken flights to LAX & LGA from O'Hare in the last 2 weeks and could not even come CLOSE to getting an upgrade. They have taken most of the large planes off these routes. I am looknig hard at NW and AA now. Once I cash in these FF tickets on UA, it's see ya later!!</font>
I'm not quite sure NW or AA has large planes either? A quick check on both websites shows that LAX-ORD on AA is served by 757s, 737-800s and one 767. LGA-ORD is all MD-80.

And well, if these are your main routes, ORD on NW isn't exactly the best bet given the NW hubs are in MSP and DTW.
