30% is good, but the rest of the industry for pilots has been getting better deals lately and FedEx has historically been the highest paid pilots in the US so they’ve got high standards. We are also in the midst of a pilot shortage in the US and pilots have never had this much bargaining power to get what they want and likely never will again. Therefore, pilots at a lot of companies are being patient to get exactly what they want out of their new contracts. Honestly, the pay is relatively low priority to other quality of life upgrades.
