Anyone else stuck at Ohare today!

Going on 5 hours, and it doesn't look good.

Not stuck there but spent a few nights there over the years. Good luck.

I fly out of O'Hare every week--it's a pain in the ass. Every flight is delayed.

Not stuck there any more, I'm already at the overnight. I was sitting on the ramp in Madison, WI for three hours today waiting for a slot to get into Ohare.

That weather today just screwed everything up! Hopefully you are already out of town.

What tornado warning?

That's why we are called the "WINDY" City.

Tonight I'm in Orlando but in the last month I've had terrible luck with Ohare. 1st time, cowboy pilot decides to try to weasel into line even though we all knew the plane wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. So instead of sitting semi-comfortably outside the plane in the gate, the cowboy herds us all into the plane and heads out into the queue, where we sat miserably for five hours as planes were turned away/canceled. We finally did head out, after going BACK to the terminal to get extra fuel to fly around a storm. Awful time.

Last week I waited four hours to get on a plane going INTO Ohare - problems on their end again. Not as frustrating then as I live 15 mins from the airport and simply went home!

Hope you get off the ground or find somewhere to stay tonight!

Well made it out, spent 9 hours in the airport, made it back to LAX at 3am today. I would have got a hotel room, but daughter wanted me to go to Ballet Class.

Gassy, will take you up next time.

This is why we get a "President's Club" membership.
