No bag = no tip

I can handle my own bag. I tip a driver of a vehicle for the safe ride, not for being a baggage handler. I also say "Thanks for the safe ride" every time so he knows what its for.

I tip when they throw my crap in the van....except for the lady that got lost from the airport to TK and made me miss the van to the hotel at 11 pm. No tip for her.

Do you guys also tip the bus driver that takes you from the employee lot to the terminal if the ride was safe?

Terminal is walking distance to employee lot. So no bus!

Nice deal when you can get it. But what will u do when you have to ride the shuttle bus in order to enjoy premium WB pay elsewhere? Tip or not?

Probably have to tip double to make up for the scab Captain who won't tip.

Not the norm, by any means at L-UA.

They are paid to get us from A to B safely. Not paid to handle my bag.

Do you load or unload your own bag? Doubtful.

Nice analogy about the employee lot shuttle. And nice avoidance of the obvious by saying "doesn't apply...I can walk!" Whatever.

Do what you feel is appropriate. I do not feel like a scab for not tipping for a scheduled ride to/from the training hotel. I tip if they schlep my bag for me.

None of it matters. I would tip in either case. Its only $1 and my way to give to them for getting me where I need to be safely, bag handling or not.
