After paying for your lodging during training and living on your $35K GROSS you won't find it relevant what junior RJ captains make. You'll care what A320 pilots make. Yes though, the jump to 67 an hour will be less of a financial burden than Frontier will have been up to that point.

After that first year beating I'd imagine grossing your 60k would start to grate on you even more while knowing that most everyone else out there is close or into 6 figures.
