The problem with other pilots willing to work for less pay would still exist regardless of what type of pay model was involved.
Well, you're right. It's all close to the same pay if the flying is constant. And I agree... there should be some minimum, and probably higher than 30K, as you suggest. It shouldn't hurt the pilot's paycheck just because the flying is not there. If you have the pilot's loyalty, than it shouldn't hurt him too bad just because the flying is not there. I guess there's no 'one size fits all' here.
