We need to do both. What's for sure is that we don't need Peotone.

And O'Hare isn't "out of space", they just need to remove some of the trailer trash around it.

It's more practical to have one large airport, in terms of making connections.

That often means investing time in educating clients rather than simply acceding to their desires."
