You need tangible, actionable items, not fluff like "positive attitude", what's that, and how do you measure it? "Going above and beyond" - above and beyond what? Not crashing would seem to be the baseline metric, what's your other metric and WHO MEASURES IT - the CP doesn't ride every flight, or frankly pretty much any flight they can avoid. "Flights arrive on time", you mean by taking unsafe flights with broken equipment because you need a raise, or burning extra fuel, but hold one, the airlines want to save fuel, so we'll arrive late - so what's the metric - number of flights that arrive late but saved fuel? "Putting in extra time", so now we'll be promoted and paid based on the number of times we volunteer to fly on our days off, so those of us that want a family life have to low paid while people with no life get the raises and promotions.

Honestly - you don't have a clue how performance systems work in the world outside the airline world, consequently you don't have a clue how difficult it would be to transfer such a system to the airline world.
