Responding to ridiculous behavior that they abhor with similar behavior wouldn't make much sense.

As for flight plans, I doubt that they're making secret flights to Chicago without anyone knowing, if that's what you're asking. They're probably chartered, though I wouldn't put it past Abbott to put them on commercial flights, making it harder for everyone else to travel.
