Because, throughout the history of the airlines, first year is a 'probabtionary period'. You have to pay your dues with first year pay, no union protection, and doing the airport appreciation tour with reserve. Once you get past your first year, the thought is you can function at the company, and they reward you with good pay and protection.
There are also no first year captains at any Major.
There is NOTHING wrong with first year pay being 'low' at Majors. That is the way it should be. Once you get to second year pay, that is a whole different story!
