Want to change the image?? Stop being a cheap MF on overnights. The reason why hotel crews hate us? Cheap bastards.
CAs that won't break a buck out for the van driver. I am still amazed when I see this, seriously?!?! I see some hand a handful of lose change over. You know you're on a 4 day, get some singles or bum one from the other pilot and get him back on the next tipping round.
Tipping poorly is 1 thing, tipping poorly on the meal amount AFTER the discount is even worse.
I was thinking that most of this was from FAs, who are overall the worse with the above mentioned issues along with "I need a fridge" mania at the checkin desk, but as we stay at different hotels more and more now, seems to be a pilot issue too.
We can't do much to change the public image of the company outside of doing our job in a safe manner, but we can control how hotels view us. Don't want to be "those guys," so don't be those guys.
I totally get you. I can't blame though flight attendants for asking for a fridge and bringing their own food. I think it's good they do that. They are being financially responsible. It looks annoying when we check in but if you had one of their paycheck you would probably do the same. But what bothers me more are guys not tipping or tipping poorly.
