Yep, first year pay at F9 sucks. No doubt about it. Second year pay as an FO is roughly equal to a junior captain at a regional. The issue with NAI is not primarily that of pay, it violates the bilaterally negotiated open Skies Agreement with over 100 member countries.
The crappy pay at NAI is the trickle down effect of skirting those labor laws.

Second year pay at Frontier is what, ~40% below industry average? I have a hard time describing that as "much better." No offense intended.
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.

I just got off first year pay and my w2 pay was equal to $2,240/month. I contributed 10% to my 401k, have myself, wife, & 3 kids on the high deductible health plan, put $30/check into a commuter parking account, and had an additional $25/check withheld for my HSA. My small check was around $750 take home and my big one was usually around $1,000. That was all at $37.69 so it'll be a tad more with current pay. On reserve, plan on guarantee and very little per diem.
