I know each company would be different but I'm just trying to figure out if there is a general consensus of an idea about what should happen to the regional s and what can be worked out.

Cheers again.
Everything is relative, you say that 30k is livable... The same can be said for 24k. It's all relative. An FO with no debt, and living in a smaller city or a city that has a lower cost of living will be able to live on 24k easier than a FO who has a $300 a month loan payment ($3600 a year) and live in a larger city that has a higher cost of living.
Yes, 24k is better than 30k. But for the task we are required to accomplish is not enough. I understand what you are trying to say but it's all subjective. We all agree pay on the FO side is low.
