tipping?

when we had tip sheets in the bid package....the S.O.P. was get to destination....capt scrounges around in his pockets.....then looks at the B-scale second officer and says "I don't have any small change, cover the tip and I will pay you back at the end of the rotation"....

hahahahahaha......

Used to be a Tristar captain that never tipped, just took the reimbursement

.....and picked up tips off the restaurant table...:eek:

not having the benefit of a 'safe-space' upbringing, I'm all for responsible spending. that being said.....the drivers who transport us safely are getting economically squeezed like a lot of working people today.

unless its a real goat rope, my personal minimum is a finsky......ten if its an extra effort.....and at least an Andy Jackson on days like xmas and new years.

its in the tax return someplace....but I'm not telling the IRS where..:D

I would kill for the city bus driver's retirement package.:D

I have had to have a "come to Jesus" talk with a few new hire f/o's that we tip at DAL. They appeared to have alligator arms! Captains should tip more than a buck IMO, F/O's are only required a buck minimum. I guess some people where born in a barn. Come on, you made it to the big leagues.........it's a buck! Amazed!

So riddle me this: how is it that I (millennial new hire fo) often fly with CAs twice and FAs three times my age, yet i am sometimes (not infrequently either!) the only one who cracks open my wallet to fish out a buck or two? For reference, I only ever travel with roll aboard and laptop bag and always keep my laptop bag with me on the van.

Bag#?
I thought people tipped if the van was there on time (or minor waiting).
I put my own bag in if the wait was long.

Jesus?......isn't he that driver in GDL? great guy! :D

There's a certain bunch in SLC that claim it's against their beliefs to tip the gentile outsiders.
Dang embarrassing, food bag draggers too.!
