So what's the big deal about F/As working for commision. A lot of carriers pay their F/As a commision on the duty free they sell on board. A F/A here in the desert just won a new BMW for selling the most duty free this year. You don't think he was pushing the sale of perfume, watches, cosmetics, etc. to win the car? I know Delta gives commisions on duty free sales as well. But the wages that the pilots are making at SB, they should have a tip jar attached to the bulkhead by the cockpit door.
