Get rid of the min guarantee, the credit per trip, etc. Just set a salary and pay it. It's just a different mindset and model for the airlines. The airline executives working in the offices that own an airline get paid a salary, you should too. I'm just saying.......
I see the min guarantee as a salary that is overtime eligible. A flat standard salary gives no opportunity to earn extra income for additional work.
Therefore I fail to see the benefit of a flat salary..
