Performance-Based Pay, This regulation makes no mention of how groups or career groups are going to be pooled. Are ALL pilots working for DoD going to be in the same pay pool, or are you going to sub-divide by FAA, Air Force Reserve, Air Guard ? How are you going to be able to tell a Great airlift pilot from the Guard an average reserve fighter pilot. Same career group.... completely different missions. You can apply that logic to all of the pay pools in DoD. Which agency in the pool has a more important mission ??? How do you judge between the different mission with the same career fields working in them ?? How is Congress going to fund these pay pools ??? I don't think they will be fully funded and that the bottom line of this proposed rule is to stop career civil servants from getting anything other than perhaps a minor cost of living increase some years. Who is going to write the standards for the rating levels and how will they be justified ??? I don't believe that there is enough specific information in the current proposed rules for anybody to really make an informed decision about the system changes. I believe this proposed rule change needs alot more work, more specific explaination of the rules, and it should be phased in over several years instead of the next 2 years. It's also clear that most front line and mid-range supervisors have little or no understanding of these new rule changes and have had no training regarding them.... yet they are suppose to rate us with them ??? I think things are about to go from bad to worse if this proposed rule taken forward as written.
