Pathetic indeed. Got the IAH tidbit from a halfwinger who was sitting next to me at a pub on my layover in DEN. Said it rarely happened with IAH crews and was asking me if the tradition was dead. My F/O and I told him it wasn't and I promptly took care of his bill for him.

Shame that guys aren't doing the right thing with our new guys. Real chance to get this place going in the right direction, IMO.
