Detroit to Chicago by car = 4 hours.
Why would you fly that?
Not me.
Hell they fly from Detroit to Lansing which is only an hour and change.
I’ve never flown anyway. Public transportation is for people who don’t want to die alone.

Delta/Northwest has a hub in Detroit. The vast majority of the people on the flight are connecting from another flight. They don’t drive the last leg in order to save money and to have as little contact with Detroit as possible.
Also, depending on time, the 4 hur drive may become a six hour drive. Finally, if he destination is the Loop in Chicago, a car (and its parking needs) may be more hindrance than help. Chicago has become VERY car unfriendly ; tolls just went up 90%, too.
