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......

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

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!
