I really have no guesses. That's way above my pay grade. In the last year ORD has grown a lot on the CRJ. When I transferred to ORD a year ago there were 120 FOs and captains. Now there are 200 CRJ crews and 40 E175 crews in ORD.
I think if they do decrease CRJ flying in ORD it's going to happen after your seat lock is up and you'll have a chance to transition to the 175 anyway. It's very unlikely that you're going to get displaced out of one of the most junior bases.
