I agree with Zapata, merit based systems do NOT belong at the airlines..
Why does it always have to be butt-kissing?
Lets see...
Employee A:
Shows up on time, in clean and pressed uniform, doesn't abuse sick leave, gets letters of appreciation for taking care of the customers, is well-liked by his/her colleagues.
Employee B:
Late often, uniform looks like it has never seen an iron or a dry cleaner, always uses up the entire sick leave and then some, doesn't do anything beyond the mandated bare bone minimum.
Now, time to decide whom to promote. Employee B has been with the company longer. Who gets upgraded and why?
As a former ALPA member of 8 years, I know the answer. "Date of hire and damn the 'butt-kissers/A-teamers!"
Trouble is... what does this do for the quality of my operation? What message does it send to my employees?
