27% Pay Increase

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Asking for a pay increase of 27% seems a bit wild to me, but that’s what happening in my neck of the woods.  This is what the pilots in our area want.  The pilots I’m talking about the pilots who guide the large ships into Tampa Bay.  It seems that $262,392 isn’t cutting it for […]
