You do what you want, I just do not see why anyone would want to do that no matter what their situation might be, not to mention you are hurting other people in the process.
It's $18 or $19 an hour the first year as FO, but then you upgrade within a year or year and a half at which time you are getting paid $34 an hour and logging PIC time. At other regionals you'll probably make anywhere from $21 - $25 an hour the first year, and then get bumped up to something between $32 - $35 the second year, but you're not logging PIC time yet.
