Yet, you want to give the guys who have a passion for the job and do the extra work involved to do the best work possible bonus $$$ for their efforts.
It's a catch-22.
I don't disagree here shiz. The problem arises when the
results are so bad, and the organization does everything they can to hide what's going on from the members. It has an extremely bad smell and the optics are even worse.
LCA's and instructors do their jobs exactly as prescribed, and the results are a pilot group that is well trained and at the top of our games. MEC bureaucrats and volunteers are doing their jobs in an opaque manner and their financials are difficult to discern. But the real problem is their results. Unlike the results of LCA's and instructors, our union's recent results are SILENCE on reversing scope and making the case FOR MANAGEMENT as to why Delta cannot afford to give us C2K restoration. It is these terrible RESULTS that make your comparison to LCA's and instructors a bad one.
