Who ever takes median upgrade into consideration? I'm not really sure that tells you anything. You either take first upgrade, or you wait until you can hold a line/your base of choice. We have an 18 year FO here. We have captains who downgrade for QOL. Everyone has a different idea of how this all works.
You are correct that each everyone's case is different. So there is no "one size fits all" model here. But looking at the distribution you have an idea of how many senior folks are still getting on the upgrade train and by inference have an idea of when you are likely to hold a line etc....

It tells you something about the distribution of people upgrading.

Any rough ideas on how long it would take to hold a line in ORD? How long is IOE on the CRJ side?

IOE was two 4 day trips, and then you'll need 2 OOE trips on the other variants at some point in the first couple months. If you want IOE to schedule faster tell them you can do it out of base. Currently ~5 mos reserve and that will probably drop with AA and summer flying. If you want a line sooner bid DTW and commute. Good luck and merry christmas man

Just to provide some additional color… specifically as it comes to reserve fun in DTW.
The latest upgrade award had a total of 32 upgrades – all but two were for the CRJ. Two were ERJ.
And while the most junior upgrade is indeed 1 year and 10 months. The most senior went to someone with more than 13 years seniority. The median is at 3 years and 6 month which is still very good in my opinion. Just know what you sign up for if you take the first available...

Is there a jumpseating 101 guide somewhere on SkyWest online?

CTP is 4 days of ground (8am-5pm) and 3 days of sim (time varies but my understanding is that it's 4 hours). I'm doing CTP Jan 9 and class date Feb 13 as well so I'll see you there!
