(i.e. Unloading to tarmac, buses)

O’Hare is under construction. They’re building an entire new terminal and are operating with a lot less spare capacity while that happens.
You don't have to go to a gate to deplane and this is an extremely rare event. They'll just pull up a staircase and have them deplane to a shuttle eventually.
