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’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.

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.
