Cleaning the flight deck
Arnie, I'm NOT having a go at EK engineering, like us drivers I know you too are overloaded.
I don't like cleaning up after anyone and I generally try and leave the flight deck in the state in which I would like to find it. Granted WE are the ones that mess the place up "superficially" but if you consider what the cabin looks like after a 14 hour flight then I actually think we're not too bad!
What I was ACTUALLY referring to is that aircraft come back from a service with finger prints all over the displays and dirty finger marks all over the panels. Not to mention the bread crumbs etc between them. (And yes, I know that's our fault - refer to paragraph above) I'm sorry if you disagree but this IS an engineering function and if we don't have the manpower to do it, then we should employ them!
How would you feel if you sent your Mercedes / Nissan / Toyota for a service and it came back in that state....?
