Pinnacle $38.58
Compass $42
Air Wisconsin $45
GoJet $38
PSA $40
Trans States $41
Eagle $41
ExpressJet $43
Republic $37
Skywest $47
Mesa $36

Small corrections listed below. APC never restored the ASA rates to the combined ExpressJet page. That rate is corrected and I added $1 to Eagle and Mesa so that all rates are Year 8 topped out. I also rearranged the list in order of increasing awfulness. It should be noted that rates for Air Wisconsin, Trans States, & L-XJT are for 50-seat RJs. While the proposed Pinnacle rate is not the worst, the bottom rates are at carriers in (or about to be in) contract negotiations while Pinnacle will be locking their pay table in for 7 years.
76-Seat FO payrates (Year 8):
Skywest...............$47
ExpressJet (ASA)....$47 (in negotiations)
Air Wisconsin.........$45 (50-seat rate, in negotiations)
ExpressJet (XJT)....$44 (50 seat rate, in negotiations)
Compass..............$42 (contract amendable April 2013)
American Eagle......$42
Trans States.........$41 (50-seat rate)
PSA.....................$40 (in negotiations)
Pinnacle TA........$38.58
Go Jet.................$38 (contract amendable June 2013)
Republic...............$37 (in negotiations)
Mesa...................$37 (in negotiations)
