I never put my bags in the cargo bin when I have a positive space deadhead. I've had too many bags damaged when they ride underneath. My handle is broken now for just that reason. I put it underneath on personal travel and it got damaged.

Dang embarrassing, food bag draggers too.!
WTH? Been here 10 years and never seen anything from anyone in SLC like that. I will say that SLC probably could win the award for highest average number of bags per pilot though.....I'm not sure what some guys have in all their damn bags??

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.
Agreed. A driver has to be pretty far off the mark not to get a tip from me. Also, newsflash crews!: some of the hotel vans run on a set schedule. It ain't the van driver's fault the hotel runs the shuttle every 20 mins and you got there 2 minutes after he left. No reason to get huffy, whine about that southwest crew who stole "your" van and withhold a tip.

Japan has a good policy when it comes to tipping.

You know the difference between a canoe and a delta pilot? A canoe tips!

For reference, I only ever travel with roll aboard and laptop bag and always keep my laptop bag with me on the van.
Sure thing Riddler. I'm just passing along my objective observations. When tips aren't given out most of the time it's youngsters. That's what I've seen and it's a fact. Anymore, most of our younger flight attendants never tip and the older ones maybe do fifty - seventy percent of the time. Why so defensive? If you're tippimg there's no need to defend those that don't.

OMG so true. I'd rather all our per diem be on a separate card that expires if you don't use it. Guys packing a week's worth of PBJ to pay for zero ROI 6 figure Social Justice degrees for their kids is hilarious to watch though.

No crew meals at our shop, and no (or very rare) "airport appreciation" time, so guys bring food. Drives me nuts

It's not always about cost. Airport food is typically extremely unhealthy.
