First year's pay is a struggle. Per diem barely covers food if you don't pack a cooler. Also tell that to the FA's making $17 an hour. I'm just saying we shouldn't be expected to "give away" money. I'm not criticizing people who tip, just the expectation of one.

Why not tip the cashier at the supermarket, or the drive thru people at McDonalds or the FO on your flight? What determines who gets a tip and who doesn't? I'm just tired of subsidizing specific people's salary while their bosses who can afford it don't.

Back on topic though. Stop bashing each other. The SLI is what it is and they are never going to please everyone. To take that out on each other is illogical since no one here had a say in it. Fly safe and move on when you can.
