Hi guys and girls,
Just a question for you professionals.
Do you think that airlines, or professional pilots alike would allow a private company to provide this type of service? I mean specialised cockpit cleaning services, not your normal vaccuuming and cleaning of a cabin but simply focusing on cleaning and addressing many of the issues that you have raised in this thread? As we are talking about being exposed to critical equipment that some may see as a danger I am interested to hear your thoughts.
An ex Ansett Australia captain friend of mine once made this very complaint to me probably back in 1997 when riding in the jumpseat of his plane and I am surprised to hear that it is still the case even in today's world. I guess it is all about cost cutting isn't it. Everyone gets shafted except for the shareholders and senior management. It seems ironic that airlines spend so much money on new aircraft yet ignore little details such as this.
Anyway I would appreciate any feedback you may have!
Thanks
