Pay scales for most airlines, willflyforfood.com, should be a good place to start.

Check the homepage on APC and then check each of the Regional links.

Usually you start at 65K. You also get a 2000 dollar sign on bonus as well as hazard/fatigue pay every month. I'm told good companies pay up to 500 dollars. The higher tier regionals also have company drivers that pick you up from your home to take you to work. Also if you chose to commute on reserve you get a 24 hour call out. The pay rates are broken down to schedules. If you chose to work only 15 days per month you pay will be 65k per year usually. If you choose to work a little more say 20 days per month your pay goes up to 75K first year plus additional expanses paid like fatigue pay. Some of the better regionals also offer free health and benefits the other lower places usually just 80% or half. 401Ks are also company matched up to 50%, if anything lower you're probably getting gypped. Good luck with your job hunting. Regards!
