If you base it solely on FO payscales: 50-seat jets for instance, Pinnacle actually pays more, with annual contract increases every December. This one is kind-of a toss up these days. If it were up to me, if I had job offers at both airlines I would pick the one that has the base I live in (willing to move to) or has the easiest commute. PNCL has more overall bases to choose from when you include Mesaba/Colgan bases that you could eventually bid into. However if you live near ORD or it is an easy commute for you, go with Eagle.
Go with the one that suits you more personally, there is nothing else to debate.
