PS, several lifetimes ago I flew for Netjets, and before we would go down to Mexico, we would raid our supply out stations and make up what we called "Mexican bribery baskets". We would load them with mini's, chips, soft drinks, etc... Everything always seemed to run a little smoother when we handed one of those baskets to our handler.

I think that we must pay our handlers in Mexico well, because I have never tipped one or seen one tipped in the 4.5 years that I have been here, and we get great service wherever I have been in Mexico, etc. I have given them a cold drink, a mini, and even some fresh Del Taco that we had extra of, but I have never tipped anyone.. Not that I would be against it, though. It’s not like we are some 3 jet operation with 10 pilots that they prey on, we are a pretty big operation so nobody messes with us for chump change..
