Is it so difficult for some of You to put a sheet of material on the seat before you put your a.. on?
How about your flightplan?
Maybe the company should install showers on the aircraft, so we engineers can take a shower before we enter the cockpit?
I hate grease as much as you do, but if you expect someone 6'3" to stand in a 5 foot cockpit whilst we do our checks...
I spend considerable time cleaning the cockpit at the company's expense on relatively short turnarounds (your wings may be falling off, but your panels will be clean). They don't issue us with vacuum cleaners, but we use small brushes and flannels (from the toilets) to shift the skin flakes, biscuit crumbs, etc from the panels onto the floor, where the official cleaners with their vacuum cleaners follow up. I have great faith in the intelligence of our cleaners not to disturb switches/flight controls. I've met cleaners who were previously journalists, policewomen, nurses, etc.... Outstanding people who are not scared of a little dirt now and then (unlike some people here).
Don't tell me your company doesn't issue you with Dry Cleaning vouchers???
