Funny story though last year I had to do a repo flight and park our plane not at the gate but at an FBO on the other side of the field. The FBO told us they can drive our crew back to the terminal. This isn't a hotel shuttle. In the crews eyes, this is the same as a having the mechanic drive you from the hangar to the crew room. So anyways ramper drops us off, unloads our bags, and says goodbye. I (an FO) look around and notices no one is going to tip. I hand the ramper a ten. I used to work at an FBO and I used to fly corporate. I didn't say anything about what I tipped but I thought that since this was an FBO employee I needed to give him the big corporate tip to not seem like a cheepAss.

I thought about it for a bit and wondered if I should have just stuck to my normal dollar tip. After all, if the FBO workers got big tips, why not all of our hotel drivers? That would get really expensive really quick. Yeah a dollar for the van driver should just be the standard.
