    So they get a 3% pay raise. What's so controversial? $148K is a decent paycheque, but it's not unrealistic. It's about the same as a Director (i.e. second level manager) earns in Ottawa's High Tech community. And for that $148K they get long hours, lots of travel and time away from their families, and continual job insecurity.
