Is it appropriate to tip a pilot after a good landing?

Well, I've never had anyone "tip" a pilot, but it sure does make their day to say, "good landing" or "great flying".

90% of the time when you're exiting the aircraft the First Officer is already off the plane doing his checks and the Captain is working on the paperwork for the next. However, it is a very nice gesture to say something when exiting.

Good question.

-Flight Attendant.

LMAO! He should be tipped for not crashing the plane!

It is the pilots job to have a good landing, that is what he is paid for. A safe flight, smooth landing, etc. He should not be tipped for simply doing his job.

I think that may be an insult, Think about it generally tipping is used in the service sector where wages are generally below the norm. With that said if you get bad service one is under no obligation to tip, "EVENT IF THEY DEPEND ON THIS FOR THEIR INCOME" I have left a restaurant with telling the waitress here is your tip provide better service, if in my opinion they were not completely busy and I received poor service.

It is definatly not appropriate to tip a pilot! That would be very uncouth!


soccerknocker199
no unless i guess if you hired him and flew a private jet but if it is with an airline no.

Are you kidding? They earn a very very good salary without tips.

u dont have to most times..but if u were in first class and was a long trip then it would be nice to the pilot but u dont have to most times.


BionicNahlege
Yes, say thank you and exit the damn plane. With what they make they should be tipping you.
