You may be surprised how they respond.
Not the glory days of flying I remember.
When American Airlines implemented their pay-for-onboard-food system, I was absolutely famished. The flight attendant found some food and gave it to me anyway.
She committed gross theft and a blatant violation of company policy. Clearly she should have been fired.
Similarly, I sometimes bring chocolates for the crew and they treat me to all sorts of goodies.
Clearly they should all be fired for subverting the corporate overlords out of their sweet sweet profits.
Actually I'm not sure it's theft on their part. If they have discretion, I'd simply be asking them to slip discretion my way. Not to say it isn't outright bribery, but that's... kind of something the airlines have implemented... they just don't call it that... they call it policy.
I prefer flying airlines that give more discretion to their employees, rather than the overly bureaucratic micromanaged airlines.
