We used to get 20 to 30% raises each time, from here on we'll be looking at more like 3 to 4% increases.
Maybe I'm too much of an optimist but I think people are overreacting a tad right now. No one knows what will happen, things happen very slowly when it comes to training, etc. Personally I think there will be some stagnation for a year or two and then things will go back to normal. If the economy improves the upgrades will happen way sooner than if some old guys/gals decide to retire. Growth and not so much the retirement age will take us to the left seat…

That's just me and Prozac makes me sooo happy...Y'all need to try it too!
