As of now, no final decision has been made where to base all the 22 new deliveries. While they will likely all be physically based out of O'Hare, they might still be doing a lot of flying from Dallas, or allowing Miami to add some thinner routes to the Northeast/Midwest (i.e. Buffalo, Milwaukee, Ottawa, White Plains). We'll know more in the spring.

Noting announced by AA, DL, or the chicago Department of Aviation.
Nothing announced, but its all but "official." In fact, I believe AA's O'Hare terminal maps on their website are already showing the changes.

•AA and its regional affiliates will operate 487
departures, a 13% increase.
173 AA Jet departures
64 CR7 departures
250 EMJ departures
•AA and its regional affiliates will serve 114
destinations, 97 domestic and 17 international,
a 16% increase in destinations.


It's certainly a good amount of AE traffic, but ORD already has a ton of AE traffic. The rumor that all domestic is going AE is clearly incorrect.
So, most of the flights are non mainline, correct?

Probably about equal by seats though, at least.

Based on those numbers, 64.5% of the flights are non mainline, so about two-thirds. That's certainly not "all domestic flying going RJ" as was the rumor that started this thread.

I wonder how that compares percentage-wise to mainline vs RJ travel out of ORD today? I doubt it's a huge shift, but I've been wrong before.

The OP didn't say all, just most.

I didn't see the "all domestic" part. Did the OP change the first post? It now says "most"

Fair enough. I won't get into a semantic argument over whether that qualifies for "most" flights (because, of course, 50% + 1 would qualify as most technically, though I didn't get the sense the OP was using it that way).

The OP also said "...planning on turning most, in country flights, out of ORD to RJ's by Eagle" (emphasis mine) implying that this high level of Eagle flying isn't already the norm at ORD.
