Doesn't everyone take those home? Same goes for shampoo, hand lotion, plastic cups, etc.

The question I’ve been pondering the last 8 months or so is, what are flight crew now doing soap, shampoo and hotel pens?

They have bars of soap at the store? I may have to ask what aisle they are on. Haven’t bought any soap at the store in years and years.

Same here. I've always felt being an airline pilot is a blue-collar profession. I tend to like that better since I'm blue-collar all the way.

just the ones that are wrapped up with a ribbon. Those are parting gifts; are they not?

...Come on man...be decent. Tip the Van Driver. Tip your Bartender. Don't be a management type. We are all just labor expense here to the MBA-types that run the world.

PS: I despise the whole tipping culture and what it represents for labor everywhere...but such is life

I don’t tell you how to spend your money and frankly it’s no skin off my back if you choose to tip.

i’m not gonna judge you for tipping as well as I’m not going to judge you for not tipping.

if anyone feels that they’re not making enough money then they can always seek other income by means of another job or education which will lead to a better paying job.

I don’t owe anybody anything and I don’t do nothing for nobody for nothing.

I earn my money and spend it or not spend it the way I see fit and you can earn your money and spend it or not spend it the way you see fit.

All you guys getting your panties in a wad about tipping or not tipping probably need to pull the tip out of your ass
You didn't take enough ass kicking the first time so you are back for more? Sick 8 month bump bro. That guilt you feel when you don't tip the van driver but yet the flight attendant does who makes 20% of what you do must really be weighing you down.

I stop at WAWA on the way to work and get some cash with no fee just for tips before almost every trip.

if I forget to go to WAWA I get money out of an ATM and pay the fee. Ouch!!

Spread some good will and tip. It’s just money after all!!

A few Christmas’s ago I was in van with 7 crew (2 regional crews worth) members and no one gave the van driver a cent. I gave him 5 bucks to cover the SHAME. When I get out of the regionals or get rich by some other means I will tip more.

Spread some love *****eeeezzzz!!
