- I recall the tradition beginning as GPFRTRS describes. Of course $2 bought coffee and a muffin back then. The #1 Captain used to pull out a $50 bill and state “I don’t have anything smaller”. I watched from the curb as a DC-10 F/O (B.K.) was prepared with fifty $1 dollar bills and gave him change @ 0600. PRICELES
- Transportation in DEN also is billed to include the tip. Some of these limo rides are approaching $50-60, so the standard tip should be $10. The drivers depend on this. IMHO, we are pitching in our bucks for bag handling. It would be helpful for the company to direct the hotel/limo/transportation desk to advise the crew in the bid pack of what they are paying for.
- I like the idea of each of us tipping individually. My memory is overloaded with biometric check ins, electronic FP/R signing, the changing names of training managers, and O grams much less remembering who’s turn to tip and “looking like monkeys fornicating with a football in front of the driver”
