Year 4: $123.23 = $147,876
Year 5: $139.04 = $166,848
Year 6: $149.45 = $179,340
Year 7: $158.03 = $189,636
Year 8: $162.18 = $194,616
Year 9: $164.01 = $196,812

These numbers are probably as close to minimum pay here as you can be. Bear in mind, this is also regular pay only and does not include B-plan contribution. If you want more accurate numbers, add 13.4% for 2017, 14.2% for 2018, 15% for 2019 onwards for your B-plan numbers. These numbers are pre-defined. Profit Share is a guessing game, but for 2016, it was 13.2% of your gross. The year before, I believe it was 15.6%. It's been much lower before during lean years, so your guess is as good as any.
Going back to the numbers above, also keep in mind that even being the laziest pilot here, you'll still get re-routed or JA'd or you'll overfly or simply have a monthly overlap throwing those numbers upward.
Just for comparison... as a 2nd year FO now that picks up, I'm on track to finish 2017 at around 170-173k in regular pay before adding B-plan contribution or profit sharing. This may be useful to someone like your friend who's older and perhaps needing to pad his retirement account.
