One of these gals has to be my ex-girlfriend.

Times sure have changed. I can remember flying for a legacy about six years ago when the captain would buy everyone dinner (737 crew). I am now a captain at a LCC and make less than most first officers in the right seat of the 737 at my old carrier. That being said, I won't buy anyone's dinner. If I like the crew I might buy the first round of drinks...after that it's dutch.

Cheers!
