"I talked to an FO that is going to break $60K this year because of this."

I laughed when I read this. I am making this much now and was offered a promotion if I would stay. It does suck that FO pay is so low (bordering on unethical) but I have to tell you I am so looking forward to full time flying again. My class start date can't get here soon enough. Based on all the changes at 9e, the market, etc what is a realistic expectation for upgrade and the ability to get back to earning what I am now without living on the road constantly?
