If we all got paid according to how much revenue we bring into the company it would be more sustainable for the pilots and allow the company to expand as well.

Maybe use some sort of formula with RPMs (Revenue Passenger Miles). If you have a 100 seat jet with 80 people on it and you fly 1 mile then that equals 80 RPMs.
let's see, 100 pax times 400 kts = 40,000 pax miles per hour

34 pax times 250 kts = 8500 pax miles per hour

19 pax times 250 kts = 4750 pax miles per hour

You must really hate prop guys.
