Well if you start class soon, you wouldn't start IOE until early spring. If you end up in the Midwest for a bit (which may not even happen) spring is a great time to be there.

There are different categories of priority based on who employs you (mainline and wholly owned first, zed fares and offline JS last). Within your group, it is done by checkin time.

From what I think I remember, it was the US Airways system and after the merger, they voted it in. It sucks for the guys at the top of seniority, but it does force people to list pretty early (not like United where people list last second as the battle it out with their vacation passes). Also, it benefits those who are trying to non-rev on multiple legs since the time of checkin is allowed 24hrs prior to their first departure. So imagine someone leaving Europe and connecting in PHL and going to the west coast. They will be checked in for the PHL-west coast leg 10 hours before anyone who is just originating in PHL.

Can someone give me an idea of the total compensation you could make in the first year if you don't mind working a lot and including bonuses, etc?
Yes I've looked at APC and read the posts, I'm just looking for firsthand experience of the max you could bring home if you bust your butt.
Thanks in advance.

American priority for an American dedicated CRJ pilot (Ord etc) is AAC.
On American Skywest metal (operated) AAC has top piority over all others.
This is rare and you must be manually put in first priority by gate agent. I suggest having the American travel page up on Americans webpage to prove this to the gate agent.
On non-Skywest metal aac falls behind mainline and wholly owned. (other contractors like republic and mesa are also in this aac category)
Each priority level is decided by time of check in- not date of hire.
Jumpseaters (non American dedicated pilots are D6. Dead last I think.

Hey guys, thinking about throwing my hat in the ring for ORD CRJ CA though it'd be a lengthy commute and big QOL hit.... should I do it? How's things for junior ORD captains these days?

Is ORD an easy base to get out of training? I am within a year of hitting my ATP mins and am starting to seriously consider Regionals that I would be able to get a base at ORD (near where I live).

You will get ORD assigned while you're still in training. If they give you DTW or MSP first you'll most likely get ORD before you finish training.
