Split your hourly wage any way you care, but these guys invested over $50K for the ratings. Starting pay for almost any college graduate far surpasses that.
Now on the issue of the underpaid majors/regionals - that doesn't make it right either.
This coming from an Embraer pilot on reserve?
Gotta love the internet!- nobody works for less that 250K, even in a POS EMB145.
