Abstract:

The weighted airman promotion system WAPS was designed to select airmen for promotion on the basis of six weighted factors. It was instituted as a means for increasing knowledge of standing in promotion competition and insuring equitable promotion opportunities. The present survey was initiated to assess the attitudes of airmen affected by WAPS and determine if airmen perceive WAPS as having fulfilled its objectives.
