This so stated on our briefing cards, and the cabin crew are instructed to so notice any passengers that refuse or just do not clap upon landing.
Our airline in fact thinks this clapping to be so important to the mental well being of, and boosts the confidence levels of the flight crews.
All passengers that do not clap are first deprived of all their monetary and valuable items,(these are distributed 60% Capt,30% F/o,10% divided by the cabin crew) then evicted from the tube, and walked around the front and feed into the #2 engine.
This practice is under company review at the present time as the cleaning costs of all the red stuff sprayed over the outside of the tube is becoming cost prohibitive, as is the cost of engine replacement.
The pilot fraternity is upset with this proposed policy becoming redundant, that we do indeed fear for our jobs, as we made more from this perk than we indeed do from our salary.
( Any one we walk away from is a good one)
