2) Junior CA on a GS: Buys dinners and beers (possibly for FA's too.)
3) Senior FO on a GS: Buys beers.
4) Junior FO on a GS: Buys beers.

Domestic:
1) CA on a GS: Buys all dinners and beers.
2) FO on a GS: Buys beers.

In cases of no premium pay:
1) LCP (if installed) buys beers.
2) CA buys beers.
3) CA buys beers and dinner for new-hires (unless they don't tip the van driver.)

And lastly LCP on GSWC:
Buys dinner, beer and covers all tips for all crew and makes at least 1 car/mortgage payment for newhires.
