I think your answer will all depend on what you want (eg, base, equipment, QOL, etc).
Oh really, that's weird. Pretty sure my check I get tomorrow is $400 and that I'm living in a single room. Please cite some sources before you post erroneous information.

Pay is still $400/week during training, you get it every Friday. There is still a $750 bonus at the end of IOE and still a $500 longevity bonus at the end of 6 months. The benefits here are great, yeah the contract needs some work but it should be coming soon. Pinnacle is growing, hopefully some more DCI flying will come our way in the future. The training department is awesome and the people are great. You can get any base you want right now with the exception of ATL, it went pretty senior in the initial opening. It's a good place to be right now, if you have CRJ time already and meet the upgrade minimums you can upgrade pretty much right after OE. The most junior captain is about 50 people in front of me and I started a month ago. Come to Pinnacle, I could use some more people that are junior to me
