ORD is a hub and very commutable. It’s also senior for FOs and very senior for captains (about 12 years to hold reserve, 15 years for a line). If you live on the east coast DCA or even EWR isn’t too bad. Stay away from outstations.
Commuted LGA to RSW without any problem for months, I had a choice between 4 B6 and 4 DL flights. I now live 2 hours from base and have no worries with my trips.
