Not sure how many miles you want, but I've been seeing ORD to Paris, Dublin, or London for about $300 before tax, or $0.03-.04 per mile. It looks like you're working at around $0.05 per mile before tax. And I like using the the Atlantic in-lieu of domestic layovers!

Then again I've heard of 1-2 cents per mile... this is my first run ever, so I'm very open to suggestions...

What are you smoking?

Let's look at ORD-DUB. At $300 EACH WAY, it comes to $698.90 after tax. You get 3674x2 = 7348 EQMs (the only miles that matter here). That's 9.5 cents/EQM, an absolutely terrible deal. Other locations won't be significantly better.
