NEW PAY SYSTEM: Company stops paying us a salary. We fly for tips ONLY

Heres the math:

50 seat airplane averaging 40 occupied seats per leg, 5 legs per day. Thats 200 passengers carried per day. We assume that the portion of the total ticked price the passenger pays for being on the "regional portion" of their trip is $50. Thats 200 X $50. Total revenue per crew per day=$10,000 Now add a "flight crew tip" surcharge of 15-18% you get $1500-$1800 per flight crew per day to be split between crew. Lets say the FA gets $300 per day and pilots get $600 each. Work a 15 day month, each pilot would make $9000 and FAs would make $4500. Thats a lot more than most make now in any seat. The company would save on not paying us a salary.

It's far fetched but interesting nonetheless.
