Agree with all of the above. Don't be one of those "I can't afford the paycut" guys. It's all about how much you spend and how extended you've gotten yourself while before you make the jump. Everyone can afford to do it if they plan appropriately and live within their means (due respect given to the guy with a chronically sick child, parent, extenuating circumstance, etc.)

It can be done, and is definitely worth it if you just keep your spending under control, which it sounds like you are. As super said, good luck!

Btw, at least at Delta, it won't be unbearable on first year pay as we're at around $53-ish an hour to start @ 70 hour reserve guarantee. You won't be rich, but you should be able to get by without digging a huge hole while on first year pay. It goes by quick, and you'll be back to where you were before you know it. Did I say good luck?!
