"A quick question: Your flight has just landed and the flight attendants are standing at the plane's exit, saying their customary "buh-byes," and you reach in your wallet and hand the attendant $5. Yes, a tip, because the flight attendant's attitude and service were extra-special. Do you believe tipping attendants would help ensure better customer service? After all, you tip waiters and waitresses in restaurants, and they're not even responsible for your safety. What do you think of this idea? Let us know. E-mail us at [email protected] or write to Business Class in care of Keith L. Alexander, The Washington Post, 1150 15th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20071."
