ZMG,
Are you with EK, because I have never had anyone try and smoke in the cockpit at EK. Has anyone? Have you?
It is against the law and against the FOM, so if it ever happens I will get off the airplane. Let them try and fire me for that. Do not forget that EK has never won a lawsiut filed by a pilot, and they would never win one based a pilot's right to smoke in the cockpit either. If you ever have a pilot try and light up in the cockpit get off the airplane!
I too try and clean the cockpit but it is an endless battle at times.
Regards,
330 Man
