Latest vacancy bid ORD had 10 F/O vacancies, I got it right out of training back in June. You will most likely never see it as a captain, but definitely attainable as a F/O. You’ll likely be on reserve for a while, but if you live in base it’s a not a bad gig.

I’ve been searching the threads and haven’t really been able to find a clear answer. I know ORD is a super senior base for captains, but I’ve been reading conflicting information on if it’s attainable as an FO.
Would I be able to hold ORD as a new hire?
I’m about 4 months out from ATP mins, and Republic is my top choice. I’d like to be ORD based wherever I end up. Once I upgrade to captain, I’ll probably move to DC since it’ll be next to impossible to have ORD CA.

Unlikely (but possible) to hold it out of training right now, but you should be able to hold it easily within a short amount of time. Things change rapidly, so that may be different by the time you get here. However, you will almost certainly be on reserve for a bit after your ORD bid is awarded.

You'll hold it fairly easily, especially as an FO, but you probably wont ever be top 50% on either side.
And just because Indy as an airport is getting more routes does not necessarily mean all those routes would be flown by the IND domicile. Being IND, it probably has a better than average chance of seeing them, but more broadly, that's not necessarily how it works when it comes to pairing construction.

As a CA there, I'd be around is 175ish out of 215 ish CA's
However, past performance is not a guarantee of.....well....anything in this business.
