Reminds of a community theatre group I played with once. It eventually came out that they, too, had a tiered system for paying the musicians. It was based on if you were a full-time music person or not. For example, they often hired music professors from the local college to perform. Because music was their full-time day gig, they got paid the most. Full-time players also got paid more. Players who had non-music day jobs were paid less.
It had nothing to do with talent or ability; it was all about what you full-time profession was, regardless of how well you played. Real fair, right? It was especially ridiculous since some of the "non-musicians" were as good or even better players than the full-time musicians.
When that policy eventually came to light, it was quickly lambasted by everyone--including the full-time musicians. They got rid of that sucker in a hurry. I don't know if the manager who came up with that idea was a musician or not, but they surely were a dope.
