There's going to be a lot of growth coming up in ORD with the American 700s. They've awarded 50 captain upgrades to ORD in the last two months. The most junior captain at the company is now ORD and not DTW or MSP anymore.
The reason reserve times have increased is most likely because they're increasing staffing for that new flying. Be patient and you won't be sitting reserve for 9 months in ORD.
