$1 says you're not someone to have dinner with or share a cockpit with.

Don't care, I already know everything I need to know about you if you can't tip the van driver 2% of your daily per diem after they lugged your over-packed luggage in and out of the van.

I used to fly for a fractional (Avantair). Not only did we get $2.00 per diem/hr for 7 days straight, but also could get any tipping reimbursed by the company. I think it was up to $5.00 per day, regardless of being CA or FO.
Tip went to shuttle drivers and FBO personal cleaning the LAV.
Now, 10 years later @ an airline, I'm making $1.70 per diem/hr. No further reimbursement for any tips by the company provided.

I still tip them if they help with my bags and if I have cash on me. We do the same overnights over and over again, they know I tip if I have cash and if I don't, it's no big deal.

I'm in the same boat as you. My 135 paid $3.21/hr PD and any "reasonable" tips were reimbursed. Now I get $1.90 and no reimbursements.
