Oh goody, another generalization from Corporal Correctness!

Hey I am a Gen X'er and I can assure you it is never a big deal to me, one way or another. Most things aren't until you make them a big deal, which you and the other Tyrant Tippers are good at. Why cast judgement on people for something so ridiculous? Perhaps we should stand at the curb and worship your propensity to whipping out dollars like every driver is a stripper, or worse paying for a whole crew like some kind of sugar daddy or mommy. Nah, I'm good!

 

None of the captains I saw who weren't tipping at the regional level were Millennials. I'm sure there are some, but it's definitely not a Millennial vs others issue.

 

Again you keep talking about expected to leave a tip. You tip like that, others tip based on merrit. Nobody is right or wrong. Again you are arrogant, presumptuous and thinking you’re in the right. I’m going to call you a millennial anyways.

 

Well consider yourself fortunate that you were able to do that. Others may not be in the same boat. You don't know what issues someone else may have. They could be a single parent, have medical bills, or other things that you don't know and don't have a clue about, so quit looking down your nose at others.

 

Most of these FAs are barely making minimum wage.

 

What it truly ignorant is to assume you know another person's situation and to arrogantly judge them. It is great you were able to tip. But you don't know why someone isn't. Could be they just got back from an illness with no sick time. Could be they have other financial burdens you have no clue about. Could be an FA that is working two other jobs just to pay bills. Per diem is a part of the compensation in a contract. How anybody spends that is up to them.

Once again, good for you. Glad you were able to do that. Others aren't in the same situation. Actually it does because I tip the drivers two or three bucks. But to use your logic, maybe I should lecture you about being a cheapskate since you make all that money now and only tip $1. Funny thing you mention budgets. When I budget the first things on my list are keeping a roof over my head, running the house, and taking care of the needs of myself and my family. Extras like tipping van drivers come second.



Never heard or have seen anyone talking about airline crews not tipping and I've been around a while. Van drivers do their job just like anyone else and the idea that an extra buck or two is going to get you a ride to the hotel faster is nonsense.

 

lol no kidding.tge last airline I was at I tipped because everyone else did. My current airline most don't tip including me. The van service at the two airlines is just as crappy.

 

Everybody has issues. Save your sob story for somebody else.

 

I tip for good service whether the others do or not. I guess that is the difference between leaders and followers.

 

It must feel good to be so right all the time 🙄
