No, think about it. If you like what you do, you do it without making financial compensation your primary goal. You mentioned pilots... A LOT of them do it because they really like zooming around in the skies, the money sometimes comes later. Good teachers like to teach, and if thet get paid well, that is good also. But pay is not the determining facter.
MikeHu makes some thoughtful and reasoned arguments. Please give them some thought before blindly responding with a knee-jerk reaction.
OK, I've thought about it. It still seems just plain silly, in fact, if that concept were put into law, can you imagine the devistation that would occur?
Probably not, so let me give an example:the 15 year policeman, who knows he isn't going to get a raise, no matter how hard he works. All that happens is that he puts in his shift, and no matter how hard, or fast, or skillfully he works, he's stuck there until the end of his shift. They simply pile more and more cases to his responsibility. He looks over at his buddy, who has only been there 3 months, earns as much as he does and always will. He handles 10 cases for each of his buddies 1. And that new recuit, the one just starting this AM, he's getting paid just as much too.
OK, how long do you think he'll stay? Actually, he's stupid for still being there for as long as he has been. After all, he could be drawing a senior pilots salary just by changing where he punches the time clock in the morning.
Knee-jerk reactions are precisely what these Demorat/union operatives want. They don't want people thinking through any of this.
Their power is jerking everybody around. Fortunately, it's easy for us to see in Hawaii because the meainstream media here is so obvious and revealing that they give all the other mainstream media a bad name.
