The airports you mentioned already are all served via Denver now on United. Chicago would just be an expansion/extension of it.

Or are you saying they should only be served by Denver?

That happened to me too, pax ran to lavatory under 10K feet, FA ran up and told them to get out before we went around…(CRJ200)…

I get having to go to the bathroom but that’s why I try to not drink liquids before flying!

Yes! I did that this morning accidentally at SFO. I didn’t have my badge on and just nodded at a couple of the pilots and I’m sure they were like who’s this dude?

We need an airline signal move like a wink and a pull of the ear lobe hahaha

If they do MWA it’ll be to Florida as well I’m sure

Allegiant previously announced MWA to Vegas in 2007 but pulled out due to fuel cost

I don’t see Spirit flying into CGI, MWA and PAH all at the same time

Contract goes up for CGI soon and PAH following, both want to rid of Contour which means no Spirit

Does Spirit default to MWA due to that?
May 5, 2025 at 4:53 PM
I also read this as Spirit would be flying into the Paducah, Marion, Page etc

They already fly to Chicago, Denver, Phoenix (the Contour hubs)
May 5, 2025 at 4:52 PM
Correct! They’ve seen Great Lakes, Air Illinois and some others but nothing non stop to Chicago.

MWA saw their highest loads in decades, 12,800 enplaned or about 24K round trip…Chicago is working! So many SIU folks and other business take the Chicago flight from MWA!

I work for United so selfishly I want SkyWest so I can fly for free back to my hometown! Right now I fly Contour into MWA as I’m from Carbondale.
May 4, 2025 at 3:00 PM
In the next proposal bid for PAH which is coming out soon, I’m sure Chicago will be part of it. Paducah wants Chicago back in the next EAS bid.

I am curious between CGI, MWA and PAH what the top 3 cities are as they are all within an hour drive triangle

Have to imagine for MWA it would be Chicago and maybe something West, LAX or DEN! And this doesn’t account for pax connecting to WN on separate tickets.

Before CGI switched from BNA to ORD, they were also driving to MWA (Marion) an hour drive away to take the Chicago flights as well!

They are just lucky to have Pre Check hahaha

I can’t even get Global, denied twice! :(

Mom just got her passport just before the deadline!

Sister flew to Chicago to get her Real ID because her Passport was delayed until June

Everyone else has Passports in the family! ✅

Ahh yes Chicago, was that a gun shot? Baby screaming? Sirens blaring from the street? Fireworks?

So glad I’m deaf and can take off my hearing aids and cochlear implant 😊

Sleep Well! Haha

Welcome back to Chicago sir!

Sorry it snowed when you landed! Thankfully the sun is out but shoot it’s cold! Gorgeous view indeed! I love River North!
