Nailed it!
Have some pride in your job, you made it! You’re an airline pilot. You should be a leader, and you should hold yourself to some sort of ethical and moral standard. Stiffing the van drivers because “you don’t see the point” or “you don’t want to cave to social norms” is weak. Stiffing them because you don’t carry cash is just poor planning. Get your sh!t together and pretend you’re a professional.
