I fly aa

I fly AA out of Chicago... flew United as a kid growing up in the area but my first consulting project flew AA so I just stuck with it. It's been good for me (have not yet had a client location without a non-stop flight) and CX/JL are nice international partners to have. Delta is probably more difficult as I imagine you'll have to connect through DTW/MSP/ATL a lot but I'm not familiar with the available routes

UA except for DTW

AA flyer here - always able to get good flights to West Coast. And as DD mentioned, direct Cathay flights are amazing

Fuck united

Agreed with the above. I fly AA out of Chicago and particularly like the OneWorld options when flying international for vacation: British Airways, Cathay, JAL, Qatar, Air Berlin, Iberia, and Finnair. Technically Royal Jordanian flies too, but I don't consider that a viable option for any of my routes.

like

AA out of Chicago. I tried to stay loyal to Delta but there's almost no direct flights out of here with them.

like

Same. I am going to be platinum AA again, will be platinum Delta thanks to corporate match, not sure I would hit top tier of either. United has the best options SFO > ORD on Thursday but I just leave a little earlier for AA or take the Wed night red-eye home (and come in Sunday instead of Monday morning).

like

@P1 I suspect we are frequently on the same flight...wave hi next time! I'll be the disgruntled consultant with a venti coffee in hand and a Tumi suitcase

like

AA market share at ORD is 40% (UA at 44%) so you're going to have a lot less flexibility for DL flights, which isn't even the third-largest carrier at the airport (which I believe is Spirit)

like

If you fly the 3:45 SFO>ORD on Thursdays that stops at Sky Harbor, you've likely seen me. Team B&R though...And GoRuck. Will be Delta out of MKE the next few weeks to do the corp. challenge, I'm midway between ORD/MKE, a little closer to the latter actually.

like

DD - cool stats. Source? Is that gates, dollars, flights, pax, pax-miles?

like

I fly delta including fligts where united is the clear winner

UA or AA. Can't do D.

Chicago you can do any of the 3 depending on preference...

Sure, outgoing that's true. Incoming it's not.

Aa exclusively

@BCG2 good question! The article I saw didn't cite a source so I went over to the BTS stats page and played around a bit. The main difficulty here is sussing out which carrier some of the regional carriers like SkyWest and ExpressJet are flying for (11% combined pax share). If I make the assumption that they mirror the mainline UA/DL split (10:1), then we get the following (pax, flights, pax-miles as a percentage of all domestic carriers at ORD):
UA: 41%, 39%, 44%
AA: 36%, 37%, 37%
DL: 4%, 4%, 3%
Spirit: 5%, 3%, 6%

👏 👏 👏 cool. Pretty similar mix of flights it seems. Longer hops, bigger planes from UA maybe driven by transcon/transatlantic. Shorter shops from DL driven by freq of ORD-ATL.
