Consistently in the "Worst 10 Airports" and deservedly so. Prime for congestion. weather, complicated runways, restrictions and patterns, delays that are more often than not expected? Terminal renovations, much needed, may help that part but what else changes other than adding 100 new flights to an already problematic situation?
Again, read the article and the post two above yours - There is NO net addition of flights through this slot swap. There will be the same number of flights leaving at the same times as before. The airline operating them and the destinations is all that is changing.
FedX cargo - thanks for working with the communities here at ORD with fly quiet.
No turns below 4,000 and stay above 3,000 on take offs.
Thanks

Can that air space handle another 100 flights per day --now ?
Well, what you aren't figuring there is the US flights that are going away. I think that is a tit for tat slot swap and no increase
They must smell blood in the water w/AA troubles. But w/the most expensive jet fuel in the country, complicated and inflexible airways. A well-placed thunderstorm or snowstorm and their nationwide schedule is toast! Dont look for too many sales thru NYC on DL.
I live in line with the runway at BGR and whenever there is a storm over NYC it looks like a used aircraft lot with international flights stopping to clear customs and wait until whatever the problem is in New York passes.
DL and US have had this slot swap in the works for almost 2 years. This is not a new response to AA's recent troubles. Of course AA does have an issue in NYC (which DL also has, now to a lesser extent) in that their presence in New York is split between JFK and LGA which prevents them from doing much in the way of international connections. CO/UA's consolidated operation at EWR is a lot more efficient.
Airlines do not consider how delay prone an airport is when determining what "deals" are available.
