This makes no sense. Both Chicago airports are easy landings. Wide, good weather radar and very informed. Sounds like plane problems to me.
No, I haven't had the radio on since dinner but there were long delays, an hour or more at airports, the roads were a mess, 45 min drives where all 2 and 3 hours, lots of fender benders etc. It was slippery stuff and visibility was not good. Midway's runways are surrounded by roads, right up next to the runways. I don't think it was anything but weather related.
I've never considered any landing in Midway to be "easy". Because the runways are so short, they always have to slow the plane down VERY quickly. Nearly slams you into the seat in front of you every time!
