If CA manually flips to green needles 25nm out, well, that's his call. It's just kinda pointless.
Also, in FM1, "APPROACH mode should not be selected until the aircraft is within the ILS service volume (approximately 18 NM of the threshold)".
And yes, I've been to ORD, nothing there prevents you from flying it correctly. Main point being - don't go green 25 miles out. The signal and obstacle clearance is not guaranteed, and it's sort of against the book too.

With the S80, 190, 330 and 75/76 going away in the next several years it’s highly possible that folks waiting to flow could see around 12-24 months added to their flow timeline as AA intermittently shuts down new hire classes to deal with fleet transitions.
