United Air to Move Operations Staff to Suburb in Blow to Chicago
United Airlines Holdings Inc. plans to move the network operations center that coordinates its flights globally to a Chicago suburb next year, slashing headcount at the carrier’s world headquarters at Blackstone Inc.’s Willis Tower. he move was announced internally on Thursday and would affect about 900 employees such as managers and technical support staff, United said.

Good.. im sure my dispatch friends will love not commenting to that plaza.. a easier nicer drive...
Only if they live close to the new location. Getting downtown isn't great, but at least you can always take Metra. Commuting to a suburb on the other side of the Chicagoland area would completely SUCK.
Let’s see. Elk Grove Village property has free parking and easy access and on scene security OR “valued” employees can commute to their 3rd shift after Metra is shut down for the day and the parking lot is not secured at 2am and having to pay for all of it (Metra, parking, etc) hmmmmmmmm which is better? ð¤
OMG Seriously it was a horrible idea to move downtown in the first place. We ALL knew it because why should anyone pay for prime office space when you OWN the property in Elk Grove Village RENT FREE????? Duhhhhhhh.
It was the execs who thought is would be nice to have the Ivory Tower on Wacker and now the Willis/Sears tower…..such short sighted stupidity and waste!!! Plus every employee who works downtown had to commute now and the parking alone was horrendous!! At least they can correct their mistakes vice sticking to them! I’ll give them credit for that!

Work location is as much a quality of life issue as pay and benefits, and therefore, it's wise to negotiate when able.
Ask any commuter.
Regardless if they commute to a union or non-union job/career.

If you don't like the commute, you always have a choice of where to live.
Easy for you to say. I’ve lived in Chicago for 30 years. Costs a fortune to live in a decent neighborhood in the city. Schools are garbage. Property taxes are through the roof. Sales tax is almost 11%. Crime is through the roof due to the no bail and prosecution attitude of the public officials. The City of Chicago is a dump.
Sounds like paradise!
The US Mint could not print enough money for me to EVER live in the city of Shitcago...
