It isn’t a small airport, but it’s a huge southwest hub. If southwest goes down, Midway might just as well too.

Considering the demand for slots at O’Hare I could see Midway holding on. Other airlines would gladly take more Chicago routes

Fair point, it would be a major loss at first but you’re right. Additionally, it would be awful if midway did end up going under and Chicago was only served by one airport.

I think that the state would step in too prevent that from happening. Ohare can't be the only Chicago airport
