Re: ORD people mover

Relax folks, this is Chicago, “The City that Works". It just doesn’t work very well. There is a moving walkway from the parking lot to the terminal that runs under the hotel. It has been out of service for 15 YEARS this May!!

This has nothing to do with Boeing or the 787. It has to do with the seating the operator decides to use.
