Surely you see the circular argument here. Does it matter or doesn't it?

I'll always tip $2. $1 per bag. The professionalism argument makes sense, and I agree with it.

But you can't go saying that $2 isn't a big deal and then go make a big deal about $2 and expect folks to make it make sense.
When an FA that's been here <2 years can manage to scrounge up $2 to tip the van driver, and the FO can't or won't be bothered with it, that is very telling.

JFC, it's $2. It's not like they're asking for your first born or something.
Just tip an extra $5 for your GenZ FO. You're gonna save at least that much when they slam click and don't join you for a beverage. And leave the millennials out of the argument, I've flown with plenty and they are just fine.

Gonna disagree here.

Did a 6 day with 2 millennial FO's....over those 6 days neither one of them reached for a tip for the bus/van drivers. Granted not as bad as the Gen Z, but I only have a few data points for them as they are mostly not on the WB fleets. Plenty of Millennials though, I would say the earlier part of that cohort are reasonable. It's the ones near the end of the cohort that are very much like Gen Z.

MODS:

Can we create a new ageist thread for the dwindling 25% of Boomers on the seniority list to list their vices vs the other 50% of Delta pilots? Gen X can moderate.

Seriously HK, for all your talk of pilot unity (which I am 100% in agreement with) my mind is truly boggled by the diatribe you're laying down in this thread.

Some people will really do and say anything to keep others down.

I hope I fly with you someday. The "**** off and mind your own business" will be suprememly satisfying to say to your face.

And this, my friends, is a classic example of people acting tough online, and saying things they would NEVER say in real life. You know full well you’d never say that, but something compelled you to puff out your chest and escalate this to keyboard warrior territory. Settle down, sport. It’s just a silly thread about tipping.

FWIW I don't think it was a bluff.

Them's fightin' words. HK's statements would obliterate a cockpit environment if spoken out loud. Hell he even outright threatened it with "think I'm going to start tip shaming you".

This **** is already crossing the line and I have no idea how tip culture and video games got this thread here.

Absolutely. I've had Delta pilots destroy CRM with the first words they spoke on a trip. HK is one of those types. I'll agree that I probably wouldn't say that in person because offline I'm mostly a well-balanced person who tries to get along. In other words, I'd never tip shame an FO.
