Swelling pilot pay could force US regionals to contract, impacting communities: CEOs
Higher pilot pay rates at regional airlines could become a problem as carriers seek to balance a pilot shortage with maintaining flights to smaller US communities.

Also notice the angle that "small communities will suffer."
What WILL happen FIRST is a reduction in the number of regional flights at medium sized cities by replacing hourly regionals with fewer larger planes. This is a win for decreasing congestion (of both airspace and at hub airports).
Fewer larger planes also INCREASES fuel EFFICIENCY and also LOWERS per-passenger (CASM) costs (especially at the current fuel $$$ and regional pilot $$$).

I had a 400% pay increase from where I started this year to where I am now. That wouldn’t be the case if a full/restricted ATP was not the requirement.

Well the trick is to not live in a place you can't afford.
Well yeah, again, don't live in a place you can't afford. And $50-100k is enough money for most people to live on.
Now that being said, the Federal Reserve/government is making each dollar worth less and less by printing more and more resulting in price and monetary inflation.

The ability to raise a family in comfort, own a nice house, buy new cars, etc demonstrates that it is certainly not a poverty wage.
