Ralph Fiennes , actor , recently gave Qantas flight attendant Lisa Robertson on the flight from Darwin to Mumbai membership to the mile high club . It has been splashed all over the papers .She has been dismissed from her job for accepting gifts from passengers. Some would say it was a bit too generous of Ralph . I say vulgar and unnecessary .

I do agree with lawchick!!!! I have been crying with laughter over the 'how much should I tip the pilot' thread! To be read by everyone on a grey day (like it is here today) Really did me good!

Yes. Quite a few years ago my father and I were trying to get on a flight from Kathmandu to Delhi and the Indian Airlines plane was booked. My father, in his inimitable way, chatted up the pilot and they made an arrangement. I sat in the cockpit and my father got some kind of a makeshift seat. The gift to the pilot was a bottle of Johnny Walker Black. (Imported alcohol was very scarce in India back then)
We became friendly with the pilot and his family and had a number of visits with them after that first flight..both in India and at my parent's home in the US. My parents attended his daughter's wedding in Delhi years later.
