I'm often mystified by PPRuNe'rs. Such smart, worldly guys, who for some reason often rail about how life SHOULD be. Why not accept that brokers make what they make, and it's nonya business.
So if you are a management company owner, (or a savvy pilot), find ALL the brokers you can, take each of them for a pint and dinner, and fight over the bill, and see how much business you can get.
Sniff them over, call your mates and check them twice, you know that they're naughty, so get cash up front.
I believe this is called "The American Way"
