So to be clear, the dinner/beer hierarchy of gratitude ....
International Long-Haul:
1) Senior CA on a GS: Buys all dinners and beers (possibly for FA's too.)
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.

(Gotta be careful not to exceed that threshold)

I consider it to be a package deal. Are you there when we get to the curb? Load/unload bags? Comfortable temp in the car/van? Don’t brake check every 30 seconds making me car sick? You’ll get tipped, and no, not just a measly dollar. Fail to meet that criteria? The tip goes down.

A guy isn’t allowed to use the money he has earned to bring friends and family, who have supported him throughout his long career, on a vacation?
