Actually,
I'm even lower - only 20% (PLUS a COLA every year - they didn't give me space for that) BUT I have a long list of things of other things that require money also and I would need those in addition to a good pay raise. I think that too many people focus only on pay rate (hourly pay) to the detriment of things that put money or time in our pockets - better trip and duty rigs for example (let's get rid of 10-12 hour 3 day trips!!!!!).
