However, pilots displaced from ORD and going to PHX instead will have an adverse effect on junior pilots trying for Phoenix.

Mesa has Phoenix, and it'll be expanding its operations there. It's currently the most senior base, but that could be changing - or at least becoming easier to hold - following additional US/AmericanUAL flying. Estimates to hold Phoenix range from a few months to a year. Some people have suggested it could be right out of IOE by the end of the year.

Where did you get your crystal ball?
Me, 8 hours later:
I'll just mention it because it's relevant. New base awards were announced today at Mesa; some guys were awarded Phoenix after just three months.
So your condescension is unneeded. Thanks.
