SkyWest removed the bonus for 135 pilots, and now it is for Jet type rated pilots. Many of my friends received the bonus for flying a caravan at a part 135, but that was not the intent of the bonus.
My friend recently received the $7500 bonus for an SIC type rating in the Learjet, and he was not flying the jet when he started at SkyWest.
The wording is now:

The wording is now:
A $7,500 bonus for pilots with current turbojet type rating is available upon completion of IOE. The $7,500 bonus is also available for qualified military pilots.

If ORD is your goal SkyWest is your answer. ORD is our most senior captain base at Republic, and while it might be nice as a FO you’d probably never make it back after upgrade unless the base grows again.

Don't cut yourself so short. I have buddies going to Majors with those times at a few internal letters of rec. Skip the regionals and give them a shot - especially Frontier or Spirit, you'd get in with a solid interview.

Yeah, haven't heard much good about Frontier.
I've considered just shooting an application to some of the LCCs, mainly Spirit, but if I can get in with a regional and make CA fairly quickly (once I hit the 121 time mins) AND then stay at ORD it would be great.
I'm def gonna give SW a serious look, can't start until Feb/March though due to a training contract commitment with the 135 op I'm with

If I were you I would consider interviewing soon, your CJO would be good for 6 months and most companies I've talked to have been flexible on the class date. It's slower in winter anyway, so maybe you shorten your reserve time by starting in march.
