Do you tip your A&P?

No, I pay him his shop rate.

Don't try *that* if he's the petite type.

Running down a cobblestone street trying to get out of the way of that one.

You know Peter what you say makes good sense. Back in the early 80's when I
got my A&P I was working for minimum wage for a small FBO in MO. He was
charging like $40 a hour for the work I did, but I was only getting $4 a
hour. I was young with very few expenses living at home with my parents
helping out on the farm. I was trying to build flight time so my boss did
help me out with a reduced airplane rental fee (basically paying for the
fuel plus a few bucks per hour). I was trying to gain experience. I always
did the best job that I could working on everyone's airplane and I think my
work was always appreciated.

Now that I am a little older (and wiser I think), I go out of my way to say
thank you to anyone that I encounter that goes above and beyond the call of
duty. It is usually in the form of a sincere thank you and letting them
know that they are doing a good job.

Not a tip per se, but I gave both of my mechanics money for a
end-of-year/Christmas gift.

In my case, the mechanics are not self-employed, but rather employees of a
large company. Thus, they are only paid a salary for the work they do on
my aircraft. The gift is my small way of thanking them for a year's worth
of honest business and good work.
