Well "oh shit" sounds like bad news, you're certain the indication was of good news?

The only thing widely known to be cooking right now is the consolidated rental facility and ATS extension, so an actual, final, freakin' construction start date would be very good news to hear. But it sounds you're saying next week's news will be bigger. So, probably something major with the existing terminals -- T5 expansion, rebuild T2, a T4 to replace the heating plant, or something.

Or, there's one announcement we've been waiting a long time for that's a huge bang for a small buck type of project -- A380 entry to ORD, including double-jetbridges and widened taxiway clearances.

Western terminals are probably still just a haze off somewhere in the distant future, I'd guess.
