AK,
When I worked at UAL everyone did their own tips. Haven't hit the line yet at new company so I can't say yet.
I've read the posts on this forum and there are both good and bad tips in my opinion.
Big picture tip if you want, don't if you don't. Honestly, I don't care what the Capt thinks, or anyone else. I answer to me in the tip department, and having worked for tips for several years in college I believe I understand it. Next time someone gets cheapo on tips with you ask them if they ever worked for tips. You won't be suprised at the answers.
