The City of Chicago is incompetent when it comes to keeping a runway open. Downright awful. How the airlines continue to put up with this is beyond me. Don't know what you're basing that statement on.....I work at ORD and they do an excellent job.....Heavy snow and strong winds would challenge ANY ...

I’m at DEN right now and I see a 763 to ORD today as well. Is this now part of the schedule? It’s probably been five or six years since 767s have made regular appearances at DEN.
I remember this...kind of a publicity thing. Hard to find some states that could justify mainline service at that time...Delaware come to mind....Mid 70's I believe.
Jump to postI have no Idea what Doclightning does for a living, but if you spend enough time in this business...You work the same airplanes every day, you DO form a sort of bond with them....Yeah, it's JUST a machine, we get that....but in their own way, they do have personalities...
Jump to postAnyone know the reason for DL's 58 return to the field at BOS this evening?

Jump to postDoesn't Atlas provide a sub-service for Qantas that goes thru HNL?
Jump to postI'm dating myself here, but I was working for Executive Airlines the day Iberia crashed...it was quite the mess. United was hired to remove the fuselage from the end of 33L. It took about a week IIRC. It was slowly rolled down 33L on flatbeds and eventually over buy an area between firehouse and the...
Jump to postAs soon as United starts flying them into ORD.....
Jump to postThere were multiple return to the field events involving several airlines today due to the storms in the NE....also quite a few diversions! Very bad day to travel in the Northeast today!

Jump to postThey have become a pretty regular visitor at ORD recently also.

Jump to postI, Like VC10er, am excited about the used busses.....Very versatile aircraft, great plane for moving a city pair from RJ to mainline.
Jump to postThe people who dump on Oscar, probably don't work for United.....He's the real deal....44 years with this company and believe me, HEAD and SHOULDERS above any other CEO I've come across.
Jump to postYou know...Ever since my Dad took me to the observation deck at ORD back in the 60's, I've been in love with airplanes and aviation...Many on this website certainly understand how you get attached to an airplane, especially when you've worked them on a daily basis. An overly emotional reaction? Mayb...
Jump to postI wonder if UA will ground handle departures at T1.....
Jump to postI wonder how many of you folks work at companies that have never made a mistake.....This is pointless!
Jump to postNot dumb at all.....Boeing, until recently, had customer numbers...For example, United's customer Number was 22. Hence 747-400's became '422's No basic difference to the basic aircraft, just cosmetic stuff...And please remember there are no dumb questions, only questions that you don't know the answ...
Jump to postModerators! Please! This thread is getting out of hand! Common decency and the ability to exchange views without insulting each other disappears from this site WAY to often!
Jump to postI like the Terminal Plan...not so much the relocation of 4L/22R. I believe the new runway cuts across Touhy Ave on the north end which of course cause its relocation...UA's hangars would have to be moved...somewhere...and as you mentioned, more noise for a few suburbs that don't get much now....MAJO...
Jump to postWell, I guess that explains the DL only GDP at JFK....
Jump to postThese Photos are Fantastic...Have worked for United since 1974 (at ORD since '87) but my 1st airline job was with Air New England in 1973 and I spent 7 years in BOS...Great memories!
