What's the biggest tip you have received from your PAX?
 

I saw a thread in another forum "what present did you give to your instructor after your CPL/ATPL" and thought that the above question is far more intriguing.
I start: on one occasion, both the commander and me received each 600 CHF, which is around 400 Euro. The commander said he never saw a bigger smile on my face:} Cash is king! Cecco

Mine doesn't beat that but we both got €100 each for helping out some pax.

I thought we "just did our job" but they were really happy with our service. :ok:

$100 each and some quality company !

who ya gonna call........

Havn't been given any cash or goodies yet from my passengers :{

But a mate of mine has been given vomit in the seat-pocket to clean out at the end of the day, so I'm thankful for nothing at times!!!!

"Watch out for that guy over there" (points to another a/c I hadn't seen.)

Plastics? :ok:

(showing my age?!)

$10,000...private flight, L1011.
Split equally amongst the FD crew...CC taken care of separately.

not me, a mate got a free bit of advice...

"You get me to that there airport or your arse is grass"

Got a crisp $100 bill, back in my corporate flying days!. :ok:

tip
 

CHarter flight, Middle East, 1500 Euros each.

$1500... Saudi Pax on private flight

A half-eaten sandwich platter and some fruit ground into the carpet.

411A, that tip is almost as much a small-cabin FO's annual take-home!

$1,000 USD each (two pilots and one F/A) for a three-day, two-leg charter with one pax in a CL-604.

One other pax would always give us each $100 for trips in a Lear-31 or 35.

I knew an Ukrainian f/a in the past,she used to keep all the tips for her and she has never split with the others,now I think she well done because she has no job any more.:)

had a partner in sim a lil bit back tellin me about his company from the mid west. Said he flew a guy to Vegas who gave the crew each 100 when leaving the acft. Got back on with an extra bag the guy asked if he had a good weekend. His reply "as a matter of fact I did" gave them each an envelope. 5k each. Evidentally he was up 250k on Black Jack

Nothing like that goes down my way....

Find it hard to believe this actually happens... but go on yas if it does!

Seriously, the best tip I ever received from a passenger was to buy a certain stock. The down side was I only bought a $1,000.00 of the stock, received a return of $23,000.00. If I had really known how good of a tip that was, I would have empted out my bank account and hocked everything I owned to buy all that stock that I could have.

(And no, it was not inside trading, I checked first.)

If that doesn't make you kick yourself in the balls everymorning you wake up I don't know what would!
