Because, Martin, in Europe even the lowest paid employee gets health coverage, vacation, probably a decent wage, etc. well, don't put whole Europe in one pot. Many countries here have squat, too (like you call it). Even in the old countries there are more and more people working on 2 jobs, govt paying less but taxing more, you get the picture. Here they get squat. That is American slang for little to nothing. On overnight cross-country trips I tip the person who drives the car to pick me up at the airport and takes me to the motel. Why? Because maybe that way they'll be happy to get a call from some lone pilot needing a ride into town, instead of ignoring the call. I see no problem here. It is a way to say "hey, thanks for coming out, appreciate!" General aviation has few friends in this country. A few bucks spread around doesn't cost me anything in relation to flying costs, and may generate a few more friends of small planes. #m -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bull**** nobody will read. |
