This is rich. Hard to get cash? Use your debit card and click that little button and select amount for cash back next time you get groceries or something else. Have the cashier break the larger bill(s) down for you. It takes all of 30 seconds and you do it while already there at the store. Not hard at all.

You guys a really twisting yourselves in to justifying why you don't tip. LIke I said, seen plenty of <2 year FA's tip. While FO's just walk away.

Cash is king, always has been always will be.
What's a debit card? Who buys groceries? Aren't they just ready for pick up or delivered?

My bank doesn't have a physical location that I'm aware of. What is going on with the WBAs? I thought I was behind the times because I still kept paper proof of insurance in the glove box. (I remedied that when I switched insurers and the new one has an apple wallet card)

The veoper I know best took the buyout at 59, then went to Envoy to make $400/hr as a direct entry LCA. Pretty solid compensation all around on top of his mil retirement.

I still print out paper copy....there is zero chance I'm handing my unlocked phone to a cop.

You didn’t make anything for me, you made it for you. That’s the same logical fallacy a loud LEPF advocate used to employ during his farcical rants about discrimination.

This is the type of attitude that is NOT conducive to a homogeneous pilot group.
What attitude are you referring to here?

Again, what's wrong with you all? Why are you so dang angry all the time? JFC it's just $2....get over yourselves.
Nobody is angry about here except you and that other guy who about blew an artery over tipping.

Get over yourself. You still have no understanding of who or what age makes up the millennial portion of our pilot group. They have kids and families, dude. Most are on their second or third airline or served entire officer commitments. Next time you’re paired up with a 45 year old millennial… spend less time talking about yourself at cruise and ask them about their life up to that point, you may be surprised at what you hear.

I'd be curious to know what percentage of the Millennial pilot group are veterans.

Or Gen X, for that matter.

Delta used to be a mil-spec airline, but those days are long gone, if the monthly new hire statistics mean much.

(I'm civilian)

Those stats are a little skewed. I read the fine print one time and they only report them as a military pilot if they came directly from there. So all those guys who came from other major airlines, UPS, FedEx, and even some regionals might not actually be pure civilian.
