Aircraft Cleaning

[flapsforty]

Not qualified to comment on the desirability of pilots cleaning the cabin so no comment there......

But very impressed by bat.man's reasoning.
For starters because he realises it's worth his while to know what goes on in the cabin. Secondly for knowing that he won't find out any other way now that we have the Flying Fortress. Thirdly for understanding the difference between 'formal' and 'informal' communication and for knowing that 'how much of a handle' he needs to keep on his CC depends largely on their job-experience. Fourthly because he is willing to lead & motivate by example and there has never been a better way.

If more pilots had bat.man's understanding of how the interaction between cockpit & cabin crew really works, life would be smoother, safer and more enjoyable on all airlines. Low cost and traditional.
