I'm talking personal profit, as in pay, pension, and job security. In
my experience, government entities (and their employees) are primarily concerned with self-replication, not "public interest". You think your employees are different? They are doing it for the paycheck. Don't believe me? Ask them if they would work for you for nothing, just for the public service of helping to keep the rooms clean. Of course they aren't different, in that regard. But, unlike the Gummint, we don't go around pretending to be doing stuff for the "public good" when, in fact, it's being done to line their pockets and to perpetuate their own existence. You, as a citizen, also have a CHOICE as to whether you pay for my employees salaries (by choosing to stay here), unlike the coercion perpetuated by a government that makes us pay for their employees (I'm referring to all gummint employees -- not just ATC) whether we use them or not. Really, when you get right down to it, comparing employees from the private sector with the public sector is ridiculous. One group is highly efficient merit-based employment, while the other is cradle-to-grave employment. There is simply no comparison between the two. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
