I flew out to Chicago O'Hare a couple of weeks ago for a business meeting, every body told me it would take for ever to get from check in to the gate. Well both ways was a snap if anything it was more convienent. Things will get back to normal soon enough. The Reason is that Americans will put up with the BS for just so long. You make it to inconvienent for the Traveling public and the Traveling Public will find another way. The Fractionals Have not let up one bit, if the pilots I have talk to are being on the up and up. People are going to travel and they are going to fly, It would not surprise me if the Fractionals don't grab more of the profitable business flights customers.
