No it doesn't. They're paid a wage, that is at least minimum wage, for driving us on time and safely from point A to point B. If they handle bags, that's extra, and I'll give them a tip. The difference between what they make and what I make is not my problem.
Rampers make far less than we do. Do you tip them for correctly loading your airplane so it doesn't turn into a smoking hole at the end of the runway? Why not? Shouldn't you be sharing your wealth with them to avoid being stingy?
