YEAH! A raise!
$3.50 per crew - $1 each from the pilots, $0.50 each FA.


PilotPip - Always got the tip mentioned above - don't know if it would have depended on whether I got their bags or not since I always got the bags. Don't know about other *metro* areas (Hoyt Axton called Oklahoma the "cultural center of the universe"), but I promise you that I made NO WHERE near $10 an hour The most I EVER made in one 10 hour day in tips was $100 and I hardly remember getting out of the van that day. Somewhere around $20 per night was standard. Yes - the crews always gave much bigger tips for taking them out to dinner since we weren't suppose to - but like you said - they appreciated it. Of course now in OKC they have Bricktown across the street. When I worked there - that was truly the WRONG SIDE of the tracks!
