AggieDave 6 #2 November 8, 2004 If I get a tip, I share the wealth. Then again, usually its Mogran my fiancee packing the tandem rig, so it all works out.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiver30960 0 #5 November 12, 2004 Take care of the people who take care of you. ... is a good rule to live by. Sharing tips, and even tipping out of my earnings on really busy days, always seems to come back to you. I'll admit that I'm a penniless bastard so I can't afford to do it often, but whenever we have a really busy day I always try to do so. Packers and manifestors are without a doubt the difference between you having a 6- tandem day and a 12-tandem day. Show 'em how much you appreciate their work.

Unstable 9 #6 November 13, 2004 I can't offer you any advice from a TM standpoint, but since I pack tandems at Freaks, WFFC, and many other midwest boogies, I have an insight for you.. As a tandem packer, I honestly don't expect a whole heck of a lot. It's a long, tough, thankless job people. At Rantoul, the Equilibrium price rate is $10@, versus the $15@ at Freaks. i can pack all day, have my JM meet the plane each time, and I'm okay with that. I find it hard to EXPECT a tip, maybe that's just not my style. I am a very loyal Tandem Packer. "MY" tandem master must be taken care of, at all costs, before I can extend my servies to others. I have my main man. I offer this type of service, and 99% of the time, I recieve a tip. I would be much happier doing a good job, and having a job at the next boogie, rather than getting a few extra Dollars. If my tandem master is on a short call, I will gear up and brief the student, and we will meet the tandem master (with a packed rig) right where he touches down. Tips are not expected, I can't (nor do I dare) to speak for us (tandem packers), but the appreciation and respect of a job well done is all I need.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
