So, as a former van driver, you say (#678) van drivers should not get tipped. I will take your word for it. That should be the final word, right?

Then I will cancel out his opinion as a former van driver then and say - YES!
Van drivers should be tipped.
Now we can keep the debate going.

No military officer would have to drive vans or uber, and all aviators are officers. But USMCFLYR initially started on the civilian track, so he probably was thin on cash like most at that point.

lolol the average van driver would get extremely defensive with the instructor. I would love to be a fly on the wall of the sim for that.
