Frontier Airlines, a pioneer in the tip-your-attendant department, used to split their tips on each flight. As of Jan. 1, however, Frontier’s 2,200 flight attendants no longer pool their gratuities. The Association of Flight Attendants, which represents Frontier employees, objected to the introduction of tipping in 2016. In November, the flight attendants voted to authorize a strike, although federal mediators have yet to declare the talks at an impasse. Despite the differing views on tips, Frontier attendants pressed to keep their own gratuities, to allow for “better transparency” and counter past problems with tip distribution, Nelson said.
