Chicago news & issues WTF is with O’Hare?

0 Upvotes

Every time I have tried to fly in or out of O’Hare this year at least one leg of my flight gets completely f!!ked because of flights being either grounded or prevented from landing at O’Hare. They say it’s weather, but we always have weather. Why aren’t we addressing the issues of not having enough people doing the ATC jobs? Why aren’t we hearing about this from Johnson and Pritzker? I’m missing critical events because I either can’t get out of the city or I can’t get back.

Sure, the airport has always had some issues. But nothing to this scale.
