So wait Airkorps. Let me get this straight: Now you're PO'ed about having to tip twice? You might be a cheapo!

Wild Manny, you're just frustated because your hockey team blows. Plus, you're just stirring the pot here and not actually contributing anything. Since you're going to ANC anyway, it doesn't really apply.

For everyone else, RTFQ!

So, I have to smoke it before I can get a straight answer? Forget it. I thought you guys would give a dude break since it's "our" forum. I'm convinced the only dudes on this forum are the guys who STIFF the drivers. Thanks for the help (that's sarcasm, by the way).

In ANC the standard seems to be swap tipping with the Capt. every other leg. When RFO I usually add a couple bucks to the pot of whoevers turn it is.

Todzilla,

Disregard my last post. Yours was actually helpful, and not condescending. Thanks (not sarcastic).

i always offer to pay, or reach for my wallet. if the captain is going to pay, they will say they got it out loud for the driver. don't sweat it, unless you see the captain only pay a buck for the both of you!
