I have always wondered why pilots do not get tipped. I tip a few bucks for some girl to cut my hair in a few minutes, even when it is crappy. I tipped 5 bucks tonight for some guy to bring me a couple of drinks at dinner over a period of less than 30 minutes. But a few days ago I flew a plane of 76 people 800 miles, taking into consideration their well being, smoothness of flight, on time departures and arrivals, and the safety of their lives. I got paid pennies on the dollars for 2 hours of work than I spent more than 4 hours of my time considering preflight and post flight duties. Pretty pathetic.
