After that, she is not likely to flake again.

It's the producers job to control the models, not the other way around. If you let them flake and get away with it then it will always be an issue.

Yeah Aaron you are right to a certain degree and say you have to treat the models right and have to have a certain attitude with them. However don't give Brian such a hard time. In LA you have to shoot a lot of girls to make decent money, unfortunately there is a high flake factor unless you want to shoot girls that have been in the industry a long time and are desperate for the cash.
Brian shoots mostly first time girls and I would venture he is shooting 4-5brand new girls a week, I am sure he doesn't have much time to recruit so he has to book through agencies. Very different then I am sure what you do and what you work you offer the girls.

Also in regards to the original post. Flakes, lateness and stupidity are part of the job as a shooter. You have to deal with it.
For me I don't think it is worth it anymore, I have done it for 4 years now and it drove me fuckin nuts.
Good luck and good riddance...lol
