Sebastian is a masterful pilot. You've got a good one.

Really? This is a thing? I mean, I suppose someone having your life in their hands deserves special consideration, but I have never seen anyone hand the pilot money.


Well THEIR life is in their own hands

If you charter a flight then yes, it's customary to tip $50 minimum.

Commercial...LMAO-No! Commercial pilots will not accept gratuities due to airline policies prohibiting it.

Me either and I’ve flown hundreds of commercial segments.

I do always attempt to look in the eyes & thank the flight crew following each flight as I deplane, boss.

Doubtful many/any care but I was raised to show appreciation for folks who take care of me.

PS: Thanks Chicken!
