Here is the scenario that makes me shake my head:

At many international stations, the inbound crews are picked up at the airplane and driven to customs, where they disembark, clear, and re-board the bus to go to the hotel.

There are also stations where the outbound the crew is dropped off at the terminal, clears passport control and security, and re-boards to go to the airplane.

So the bus driver has to load the bags, unload them, load them again, and unload them again. With the average crewmember bag tally usually being around four, the driver will have handled a bag 16 times for each of the dozen or so crewmembers by the time they get to the hotel or the airplane.

And what do most crewmembers tip for all of this bag-schlepping?

One US dollar.

Which, as of this morning, was €0.93 or £0.80.
