I love Chicago, but there's a reason their (auto) gas is the most expensive anywhere this side of Honolulu....(Hint: It has nothing to do with refineries). If the politicians and cta want local businesses to shop locally, they better do something about the tax rates they're using to drive business elsewhere. In this case, giving up a little (rate wise) would have increased their tax revenues significantly. With as much fuel as ORD's hubmates consume, this is hardly surprising.
This is a classic case of poetic justice.
Let's see, now. The most corrupt city, in the most corrupt county, in the most corrupt state. Guess they don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot, do they??? Just as with the IRS, tax evasion is illegal, but tax avoidance is simply doing your due diligence in keeping your business profitable.
AAL is doing the same thing. They're just not being sued because of the bankruptcy. Report is they'll be sued too when they emerge.
Sounds like United out-Chicagoed Chicago.
United should move back to Houston, period.
