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.

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...
