SOP across most of the country.
I've seen plenty of keys for courtesy cars and lock boxes for gas money but
this was the only time I saw that much cash just lying there in an open box
on the counter. Most of my flying has been east of the Mississippi though -
maybe it's more common out west.
We often leave our courtesy van at the airport, for pilots to drive
over to the inn, or to get a bite to eat.
People outside the pilot community find that amazing. We find it
everywhere we go.
