Forget about Venice too, the criterias to go there now are not seniority based anymore.
True, 4 years. So? In the years before that you're still on a good salary in Italy and also with a 5-4 roster. It is correct that the waiting list is long so if you really want to go to Italy you either delay your command or take command and commute or a combination of the two. Of course also depends on your private life whether thats based in Italy yes or no.
And not sure why you think 6000 is on the optimistic side. Basic pay for an SFO is 4900 net. Add all the daily allowances ( diaria ) and sectorpay to that and you'll easily make 6000. Maybe in some winter months it's slightly less but in the summer its over 6k. So on average: 6000 net per month. I know captains in other companies who fly for less.
