Load Factors on YXU-ORD?
Anyone take the new YXU-ORD flights? How's the load factor? The airport is promoting it pretty heavily so I'm guessing they have some agreement with United to promote it and guarantee a particular load factor to keep the service.

I miss living in London - such a great city.

No, but Steve Baker from the airport is usually on 1290 every month or so pushing new flights or sun destinations, and I'm sure the host will ask how the ORD flights are. Of course, he always sounds like an optimist anyway, so I'm not sure he would say if they were doing badly.

Was on UA 5778 ORD to YXU the Wednesday before American Thanksgiving (November 25) (d 1353, a 1618)
Flight was barely a third full. It was super convenient being able to fly back to my hometown BWI-ORD-YXU, but am worried about the viability of this flight.
Also, on arrival, customs processing held up because agents weren't "ready" for the flight. Luggage claim and exit was pretty fast though, and literally 30 second walk out to waiting family member in car.
