Nobody's talking about whether one particular person is doing a good job at his or her position. We're talking about the level of pay which is above the norm. These exact same positions outside of ALPA pay far less. Look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics to see for yourself.
Why that is the case is a fair question. Why a benefits specialist makes more than a 757 Captain is another fair question.
