Eeeeeeeerrrrm, cleaning the cabin? Cleaning the toilets?
On our not low cost airline, ground cleaning staff are supposed to do the cleaning, we only change the headrest covers.
In theory.......
In practice, it happens about twice a week that we have the choice of either doing the cleaning ourselves or face a massive delay.
Usually when we have arrived late at an outstation, when the AC meant for us arrived late at home base or when faced with a nasty slot.
I ask the crew what they want to do, and the response is
always the same: Let's do it ourselves!
And just for these scenarios, part of my standard equipment is a pair of very pink, very heavy duty rubber gloves.
As soon as the rest of the crew sees me whipping them out of my bag and realizes that the Chief Wagon Dragon does the toilets, they clean the rest of the AC without a murmur.
If occasionally cleaning the bogs with my own "lily whites" gets everybody to their destination on time, I don't mind at all.
But I do feel for those colleagues who always have to do this, 'cause a pretty job it sure ain't!
