Okay, but after the new fleet alignment with 81 -900s, there won't BE anymore 4 year FOs. They'll be 7 or 8 year FOs. So, let's re-compare, shall we?
Pinnacle $38.58
Compass $42
Air Wisconsin $45
Go Jet $38
PSA $40
Trans States $41
Eagle $41
ExpressJet $43
Republic $37
Skywest $47
Mesa $36

So, for the most part, the difference between a Pinnacle FO and most of the other regionals flying comparable equipment is the same difference between the Pinnacle FOs and FAs. Not to mention most will have more movement on their lists than Pinnacle. But, hey. "Career progression to Delta."
