No it's not easy, you want them trained up to Elite. Therefore you need to keep them.
And its obvious i you pay only when hired. My point is we shouldnt pay while they are off duty
I have 2 hired crew members, one of them take 16% from my money (she earned near 1.5 billion since she is my co-pilot), the other take 9% (near half billion). I'm sitting on about 3 billion bank roll, should I care how much they got...? If don't want to pay, don't hire, I think it's easy.
It does not matter if they are working or not. You have a contract with them
Unless you go to the Crew Lounge and press Terminate Contract you have to pay them
To be honest I've never thought about pay them less money. They're my crew even if they're not active. It's just an option to hire or not. I love to take one of them when I want pew-pew, and not because for money, just for fun. The 'work part' of Elite is over to me, have/earned everything what I wanted, playing it oNo it's not easy, you want them trained up to Elite. Therefore you need to keep them.

Exactly that's why I leave HazRes or CNB before my ship would be destroyed when my crew is with me. I don't care much about the rebuy cost, but I wouldn't risk to loose them.True to a point but then I want my crew members back if my ship is destroyed. Even if I have to pay a fee of some sort or something.
