Now when you're talking about a Legacy like Delta or United where 3rd year FO pay is significantly higher, and they get a 15% 401k contribution then it starts to become more worth it to take the quality of life hit for the pay raise.
To each his own. I see both sides of the argument. People who are single or have no kids and have the ability to move maybe would go to a LCC to chase the pay. Regional captains with young kids who can't move are probably waiting for a Legacy to call.

Where is CRJ training currently being conducted?

I wouldn't bet on a meteoric seniority climb in any base on the ERJ though, expect transitions ahead of you for a few years.
