And I thought only me and my crews debated this topic. I over heard a driver one night braging that he made about $1100 in tips alone for the day working his 12 hour shift. I was in disbelief until he pulled out his wad of cash and was tallying up at the counter (unprofessional). Well ofcourse he didnt get a tip from me when he took me back to the airport.

Tip out of generosity is my thing. If I have I give if I dont have bust luck. I just feel bad when everyone else does and I don't. hurts the ego but so what.

One pilot here says he's cheap. Hey, BE CHEAP cause at the end of the day we aint getting tips but we giving them not to mention some of us cant afford to tip when we are paying rent cell phone bills and not to mention student loans. I get my tips tallied for the year by flica.
