You get paid what the market will bear and what your union is able to negotiate.
Entry level pay at the regionals has gone up substantially in the last year or so.
Your flight training costs are of no factor in determining what you get paid.
If you can't afford to live on what you will get paid, then you should have reconsidered being a pilot with only civilian training and therefore, a large debt to repay.
