I too was not promoted but did not blame the company

Some of my colleagues were 10 to 20 years junior in service to me in the company and were promoted ahead of me. I did not begrudge them because they were willing to sacrifice their family lives and devoted their time to SIA. They worked very hard, much harder than me and so they deserved the promotion.
Some did not even report sick for many years whereas I did quite often due to vertigo. So when I was not promoted I did not blame the management nor envy my colleagues. The difference in salary between those who were promoted and those who were not, was as much as $2,000 a month.
This is a fact of life and so the crew should learn not to blame the management for not promoting them if they take too many MCs or do not participate in ECA. But as I understand, MCs and ECA form a small part of the promotion process.
