yes, caught between the devil and deep blue sea is right. But consider, pax want to go to Chicago, best damn alternate to MDW is ORD. BUT just try to get in line at ORD during a snow storm.
And to those who know Chicagoland, we must also wonder why the Mayor ordered bull dozers in to chop up and destroy MEIGS field and not Midway. If his logic had been used, Midway would be gone too. But $$$$ speaks louder than words.
Chicago is a great city. I love it! Its a todd'ln town. But if its going to have MIDWAY airport they should do it right and not half assed.
I recall how much they spent on the terminal to make it better, more modern and how little they did for the airport itself.
When I started flying to Midway in jets, the terminal looked just like it did in the movie "North by Northwest" (though with jetways).
