On the topic of the tipping deal, in Arizona the minimum wage is $7.80 an hour. If you are a waiter / waitress though, your employer can legally pay you just $4.80 an hour because it is expected that you will at least make up the difference in tips, and they get taxed accordingly.

If you don't tip in this scenario you are actually costing the server money.



Don't be that guy.

Yeah that's a server serving me... A van driver is totally different. And per diem is for food not to supplement a hotels poor pay. No one helps me with my pay. Especially after taking a 8$ pay cut. I don't mind if ppl tip or if they don't tip. It's a personal decision.

$8 pay cut that you voted for? Thats like 2 gallons of tractor diesel!

Now I see why you're so upset.

Its awesome, hence my screen name.

By the way, one thing that always bugged the crap out of me in the crew room was flight cases with 777 or 757 etc stickers everywhere, then the guy hops into the right seat of an ERJ.

Some guy told me in the bar one night that he flew for Continental Airlines. When I asked him what equipment he flew he said "its called an Embrarer 145."

I never knew Continental Airlines flew E145's

Shows how much I know!

I always went for the "only the planes Ive flown" mantra for stickers.

However, a quick search of paxhauler's history shows he is a CPZ guy. It's not that difficult.

As far as the bar thing, those of us who are or have been in the regional industry have all encountered the issue of "do i explain outsourcing or simplify this to 'a northwest feeder'" or something similar.

I hope you folks don't mind me trying to get back to the name change...

What does everyone think of the logo choices? The first choice reminds me of this:

That's funny that you are saying this on a regional airline forum, where 60% of the people on here took out a $100k loan to get this job, knowing darn well what the pay/conditions are, then go out and buy a Bose headseat and Iphone 5 and iPad before basic indoc, then ***** and whine all day that they can't feed their family or tip the driver and are underpaid and something needs to be done about it, and that Captains don't know what it is like to be an FO.

Can't understand where the bad stigma comes from.


yeah, because everyone who doesn't tip and posts in this thread is obviously a Pinnacle pilot, since no other pilots ever post in a thread that does not have their airline in the title.
