My logical pilot view that is 7 years away from an interview is this:

I'll format the book very nicely and get it printed and bound at something like Kinkos to take with me along with a flash drive containing the eLogbook and my supporting docs, scans of military flight records, as my logbook only contains line items of hours on each Zulu day.

I would think potential employers would like such organization and easily read format.

Not sure what your point is. When I was in the military, I got reimbursed for tips, and I tipped. Now that I don't get reimbursed, I don't tip. I am not a democrat, and if people out there want more money, they can get a better paying job, not a handout from me.

That being said, I have tipped drivers who did more than pick me up and drop me off. A brief tour of the area is always appreciated.

Soooo.... you'll tip with someone else's money but not your own. Sounds like you are solid in your convictions.

I'll listen... what's your reason for tipping?

When someone works in the service industry and does their job well, I will tip them. Are you letting these drivers load/unload your bags? That's not in their job description. Drivers get close to minimum wage, if they're busting ass, I'll tip. Do you not get enough per diem to spare $2/day?

You work in the service industry. You provide a service to travelers. Do you expect a tip?

Most drivers take my bags without me having a say. Some do it and when offered a tip, say no thank you. I admire them more.

I have never seen a driver busting ass. Never. I HAVE had a handful take me on a tour of the area on the way to the hotel, pointing out things to do and places to eat. Those drivers deserve a tip.

I don't get per diem, I get M&IE. And yes, M&IE is designed to cover tips, if paid. Nowhere does it say I should pay them.

Do you claim your tips on your taxes each year?

Nevermind. I knew it would be a waste of my breath. No, you can't claim tips on your taxes.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU GET PAID A LIVING WAGE!

I literally had no point except providing the movie version of the argument being had here.

I give two craps if anyone here is tipping or not. Do what your paycheck/ religion/ conscience/ reasoning tell you to.
