Who is the 3rd largest carrier at O'hare?
 
UA and AA are the two big ones. The airport does a volume business. So are all the other flights just a mix of all carriers, or is there another large carrier at ORD?

I would venture to guess US and their regional partners.

good question, I'd like to know as well.

NW has 21 flights a day into ORD. How many does US have, how many does CO have, and how many does DL have?

Sticking to commercially scheduled passenger flights and lumping in regional partners (e.g., United Express, American Eagle, etc.) under the airline code used for most ticket sales ... while measuring it by flights or by destinations?

By destinations, after UA and AA, I'd guess US-HP or Spirit. By flights, I'm guessing NW is up there.

By destinations, US and Spirit each tie with 6. By flights, its between DL/CO/NW but I think its more likely between NW and DL.
