Yes, ORD is basically the same as CLT. The most jr FO is separated by 1 class. MAR 17 for CLT and APR 17 for ORD. So anyone hired after those classes could conceivably have bid, depending on equipment, and held any other base other than CLT or ORD. That being said it looks as though ORD has been harder to bid into for a recent hire(last 4yrs or so)over the last 3 vacancies, according to 3XP.

Well on the east side, some guys got CLT in training, some got it within a few months and some had to wait a few years.
Shrinking/stagnant bases will always be tough to get into as most who are there don't want to leave, so no new spots. AKA BOS, PHX, ORD. Etc.
Would be nice if we were UA and adding flying but Doug has never done that on the mainline side, the recent European stuff notwithstanding, and the few point to point stuff we had has been killed by high(er) fuel prices. The stuff we are adding guys thumb their nose at (ie CAE, GSP, etc etc).
