A locality pay rate increase is the only thing that ups my base at this point.

A lot of people are turning the job down, at least where I work. Not only have people turned it down but we have lost an unusually high amount of new hires to resignations.
Really can't say I blame them... well at some point they'll have to wake up and fix it, or there's going to be lot of airplanes sitting on the ground.
