How often are the Thursday evening flights out of ORD delayed or canceled in the winter? I'm starting there soon

They just opened a new runway last year and working on another one next year so overall it's much better than other congested airports like LGA or JFK or SFO. The additional runways make recovery time faster too. But when 2-3 of the runways get closed for weather you're bound to have significant delays no matter what.

I’m still waiting for my flight - currently on hour 6 of the delay!

Update - flight cancelled because pilots/crew were "illegal” since they took so long to board the plane. ORD is such a shitshow and AA service is even worse 👎
