Nice raises! Are the raises directly related to the amount of IFR traffic
your area works?

We all got our pay reclassified about 6 years ago. This was based on
traffic and some other factors like crossing runways, mountainous
terrain, secondary airports, etc. Traffic doesn't figure into the
yearly raises. We get the same as any government employee with some
adjustments for cost of living. This years raise was 4.1%. Most of
that was the regular raise and the rest was based on where you live.
People in the expensive areas got a higher raise.
