I'll tell you what. Since you're so concerned, why not give up some of your pay. Write a letter to your CEO and say that you're taking a 50% pay cut.
For the responsibility the CA has, he/she should get paid well in excess of 100k, never mind that it's a CRJ. I also believe first year pay should be in the 40k range- increasing to 60k by year 2...but that would be in a perfect world.
Out of curiosity, which seat are you in, and what do you think you SHOULD be paid?
