KORD is not the busiest airport in the world.
KATL is, by far. current rankings put KORD at Rank 7 with KATL still in the #1 slot.

sorry but thats comparing Apples to Oranges.
your article solely reflects aircraft statistics. number of flights.
look at what my links say...... NUMBER OF PASSENGERS.... confirmed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartsfield%E2%80%93Jackson_Atlanta_International_Airport
Aircraft Operations wise. KORD is now king, and actually only for a year now, KATL had that king chair also.
since 1998 KATL is king of body count and since 2005 till this year, king of Aircraft ops.
but by the number of bodies moving..... KATL is King for 10+ years. and KORD is down by 2 slots from #5 2 years ago, to #7.
passengers wise, KORD runs a 46.7 Million count. KATL runs a 95 Million... want to argue that?
KATL just built a new concourse, "F" so lets see.... we now have T,A,B,C,D,E and now F Concourses. a total number of gates of 199 which recently KORD had the king chair for number of gates...... we just pushed KORD out of that chair too.
Broken down to:
T = 15
A = 29
B = 32
C = 40
D = 43
E = 28
F = 12
planning for a 6th runway is in workings. the problem is, KATL already has a triple arrival and double departure capability. that will soon be a triple arrival and departure. 6 parallel runways? 3 Arr. and 3 Dep? yeah... dont worry about the Ops count for KORD soon.
and yes, quite obvious, i live in Atlanta. either way.... apples to oranges :)

Local news is reporting he was upset over being transferred to HAWAII! I was outside for 15 minutes just now, zero air traffic currently.
Well, he got his wish.. He will now not be transferring to Hawaii!.... I am sure they have someone else that he will be transferred to that is much more local.
