JB74 and big Ti$s

JB74: I just love your thumbnail......

Being a Brit, tipping is a horror story. I have read these posts and now realise that I am a mean son of a bitch......

In Africa several years ago, pulled up for fuel, and paid with the carnet.....6 refuellers demanded a tip....I said" we are not Americans", they said sorry, and "settled" for 10$......

I am certain when you guys visit us you must have even more horror stories....pray tell all....

how much do you normally tip line service...for large size bizjets...GV Falcon 900EX etc.

It varies, except for a guy in Egypt who "services" our lav crouched under the fuselage holding a plastic garbage bag to recieve the contents. He gets the equivalent of a half-month's salary every time I gotta ask him to do it!

Not sure what todays wages are but 10 years ago, Million Air was $6/hr in a major metro area.

The only time I was pissed about no tip was when I went above and beyond. If line service uses the company van to transport you (rather than a cab) you should at least tip half what the cab would cost.
