1. Have you ever tried to split a bill with the FA's? It's just easier to pay the bill than the 30 min it takes to argue and divvy up the bill.
2. It's not about paying for someone who cannot pay the bill, the exception is the half wingers, but more as a gesture to take care of our own. Meaning, I'm clear saying this at the time, the deal for me paying is, when you upgrade, you have to take care of your own crew in the future. The better we work and stick together, the better off we are as a whole.

Hmm. I disagree with some here. I have always offered to pay for a couple of reasons.

Being a SENIOR FO is a choice, once you get to the point your seniority can hold captain.
As a regional guy I will normally buy a round of drinks, sometimes dinner. Of course we only have two FAs and we always end up at the same hotel. But as other said a lot of it depends on the crew. I’m not going to even go to dinner with someone I can barely tolerate the van ride with, and there are quite a few of those.

Unfilled CA = CA is a choice = FO is a choice.
But it was just a joke anyway

Wasn’t too long ago it took years to have seniority to hold the lowliest, suckiest captain seat at a lot of places. There are plenty of guys who spent years at Airways and ABX, to name just a few, unable to upgrade. Definitely wasn’t by choice.
