You've made a very strong case for management to keep on time and profit sharing bonuses. It is achieving the results that management wants - motivating employees to work harder. For employees, a more profitable airline results in higher pay.
I tend to favor bonuses because this SHOULD be an area where management and employees have mutual interests - a profitable on-time airline that customers want to fly. The RLA complicates this equation.
