Captains.. what do you do with your atlantic bucks?

[av8tor4239]

I was just curious how captains split the atlantic bucks if there is an uneven number? Do you keep the extra one for yourself? do you give it to your poor lowly fo?

Just curious?

For what its worth, most guys I have flown with give me the extra one (i am an fo), except for this one guy.. we wont go there

I split them with the FO, and if there is an extra one I give it to the FO.

Every single captain I know, including myself, gives all the atlantic points to the FO and keep none for themselves. I am sorry there are captains that don't follow this practice.

A good FO is like a god to me. That's why I give him 10% of the bucks.

Nice try Luvu.

If there's an odd amount of bucks, the guy making less in salary should get the extra buck. Nice and simple.

The F/A gets the odd ticket. Never mess with the person who prepares your food.....

The F/o gets the extra every time.

In the mighty beechjet, we accrue so few of them that I really don't care. The other guy can have them. But we do get three bonds for AvTrip every year!

I agree that giving the extra buck to the FO but if I'm flying with another captain, I'll split the bucks into two stacks and they get to pick which hand to choose from.

BTW, watch out for your AVtrip points, there is a Captain at NJ that says that he gets points for his FO's but takes all the points for himself...make sure to ask for your receipts. I've heard that he is still doing this even after I confronted him about it.
