I realize a lot of posters here hustle a little and that living in base makes an enormous difference.
A 6th year guy would not be stuck as 717 FO unless by choice. He could be a 717 CA most likely, or a 73 CA.
For comfortable 6th year FO pay, look at the widebody scales.
Also factor the 401k DC, since I've never heard of non-airline employers which contribute 16% out of the gate... or ever.
