Thanks for the write-up, walk-through, and annotated map.
Also, TIL about the FAA CATS website. There's so much data and so many reports that the FAA publishes, as long as one can find the right website to retrieve it.

I wasn't expecting ORD gates (document.epiq11.com/document/get...) to be the/an airport asset AA was seeking (mainly because I had forgotten ORD gates could be traded like the swap between UA at LAX for AA at ORD)

WestJet (www.westjet.com/en-ca/news/2...) and Air Canada (www.aircanada.com/media/more-e...) (JV partner w/UA too, so data on costs/revenue/operational experience I assume) following on with TATL 737-max8s to try less capital intensive experiments on routes that don't need premium flatbeds
