Tipping the Pilot

An interesting little thread - reminds me that in the mid seventies on UK charter flights it was not so unusual for the cc to receive a gratuity and they occasionally would "share" their gain with us pilots. Many years later I flew for an Asian airline and received quite a few brown envelopes containing not less than US$3000, often more. The proceeds are still providing me with my daily glass of champagne! Happy flying.
