For what it’s worth, Southwest.com is showing Gate 1 in COS and Terminal 5 in ORD. Looks like the dreams of the Westpac gates opening up are still on hold for now! Still, the number of diversions WN sends to COS on DEN bad weather days, it may not be a bad idea to dust them off a little! https://www...

Jump to postOne thing we have to remember here is that this was one individual flight attendant (now two). As many posters have said above, there was probably some sort of jealousy going on.

You have definitely pushed up my next trip back!
I worked at or around the Chicago airport for just about 2 years, and I don't think I ever saw an aircraft land on 32R. I would imagine that since Terminal 5 has been built, it is too close to the approach path to be used safely. That would be my guess. I would agree that I have only ever seen aircr...

If you don't wear a suit, you should at least wear a tie.
