Some might find this helpful.
This is APC pay rates and bonuses pulled into one place for convenience. For hourly rates, if there were different rates for different A/C Types, a blended rate was used to keep it simple. Same thing for bonuses.
Every contract is different so this graph is only a starting point. Educate yourself on the different work rules and contracts which can affect your pay and QOL.
Some considerations:
Cancellation pay, DH pay, per diem, schedule flexibility, schedule quality, time on reserve, reserve schedules, time to upgrade, hotel quality, insurance/other benefits, commuter QOL issues, how many commuter hotels are offered (if any), Is a training contract required, etc.
Be aware that recruiters are selling a quick upgrade at many regionals, when the quick upgrade is possibly over. Upgrades can only happen if they can hire enough FOs to fill the right seat behind you. And I think we all see the writing on the wall, that that is becoming more difficult for every regional by the day. So just make sure that if you do get stuck in the right seat for a while, that your bank account can withstand it.
Good luck with your decision.

Just look at the daily flights between MCO and DAB and whatever domicile you would hold for different airlines. Endeavor out of their soon to be opened LGA base wouldn't be too bad. PSA has CLT. CommutAir has IAD. GoJet had RDU. I'd go somewhere with an interview or a flow with a mainline partner.
