Not saying you’re one of the brown-nosers, but your company’s system seems HIGHLY subjective.
Very much agree though I suspect it may depend to some degree on the size of the airline.
Having worked for a large organization that used a report based system IMHO it’s very easy for your solid, quiet competent but unspectacular performer to be overlooked in favour of the individual who has made more noise (and I mean noise) around those that matter when in the office/in the bar/on the golf course…
Time served and only then, when the time comes, a crack at a rigid upgrade process has to be the fair way to do it …..again IMHO.
