So Porter called me today to say my evening flight to Chicago tomorrow was "rescheduled" to the earlier flight. The guy who called was really nice, and I don't mind (given work's quieted down), and the car rental gave me an earlier pick-up time without an increase of the reservation cost, so I don't mind at all, but it seems to me like that loads are likely quite light to Midway.
I can say with 100% certainty that it wasn't because of light loads. They don't cancel flights due to light loads. Never have, and trust me when I say there are flights that probably should be cancelled but go out anyway. I know why they did this, but I don't work there anymore so I don't want to get people in trouble by blabbing. It's nothing sinister and it's out of their control, I just don't know what they're telling passengers.

As a happy customer who loves Porter as they are now, I think they need to be careful. This expansion is making them much less attractive to me. They're running the risk of losing everything that makes them so different and special. A much busier and bigger terminal? No thanks, that's not what I signed up for. I'd rather go back to getting aeroplan points at Pearson.
Well, did you notice a difference when they built the first expansion? They more than double the first lounge, and they're more than doubling this one. Essentially, the new terminal will just be a bigger version of the current lounge with some nicer amenities such as shops and restaurants. The current lounge sucks when there's a delay on your flight. There's literally nothing to do and you're pretty much trapped and forced to occupy yourself. At least the new terminal will allow people to wander around and grab a bite to eat.
