"Dust Buster"...
As an engineer, I have the great honour of cleaning up after pilots... Apparently, airlines don't trust the regular cleaners with cockpit panels/screens.
It is especially rewarding for me after the cockpit has been invaded by a bunch of pilots who insist on speaking with their mouths full (of biscuits and crackers)... and even more so when we've been so busy, we haven't had time for lunch or smoko on a 12 hour shift... <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> ). Mmmmm.... crumbs.
Personally though, I prefer the offerings under the seat cushions on passenger seats.... Peanuts, jelly beans and chewing gum (any American airline), "Otsumami"(JAL), olives (Olympic), barley sugar and Smarties (BA),.... and yes, even a nice selection of lose change for the budding numismatist (Sadly, all the pilots seem to use plastic money these days).
Q.
P.S. BTW, in case you were wondering... On my days off, I usually "rat" through the garbage bins at the back of my local McDonald's
