Toilet Checks every 20 mins
Can you all enlighten me as to how, you do your toilet checks every 20mins on long haul flights? Do you stop the service and go and Q up, and how pedantic are you about doing them every 20 mins? For all my fellow colleagues living/working away from the UK...do you have to do the same, and if so...how do you cope? Its driving me MAD!!!

EASYJET HAVE THIS RIDICULOUS RULE ABOUT CHECKING THE TOILETS EVERY 20 MINUTES IT IS VERY IMPRACTICAL. IT REALLY IS IMPOSSIBLE ON A BUSY FLIGHT AND SHOULD BE RE-THINKED AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. ALTHOUGH I DO AGREE IT IS A GOOD IDEA BUT IT SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT LESS FREQUENTLY.

I forgot to add that I am UK based. It is nigh on impossible to do these damn checks! I could spend my whole flight going from toilet A to Z, and still would not make the checks every 20 mins. Surely if a pax found a message/package/smoke, they would inform one of the crew? IF a package WAS found...What on earth can we do about it, apart from putting it up against door 5? It beggars belief, and drives me insane! We CANNOT be all things to all people..is there not a limit to our abilities?

I AM SO IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU, WHAT ON EARTH COULD WE DO APART FROM PUT IT ITO A LEAST RISK BOMB LOCATION AND THEN S**T OURSELVES ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE PUNTERS.
I NOW THINK THAT WE SHOULD JUST STOCK UP THE BOG ROLE AND KEEP IT AS RESPECTABLE LOOKING AS POSSIBLE, EVEN THAT IS HARD WITH THE STATE THAT PEOPLE LEABE THE BOGS IN!!

LOL...probably they do, or they must think I am obsessive about toilet cleaning! The last time I worked in upper deck, the pax sleeping at the front of the cabin, who was being woken up every 20 mins by the light of the toilet coming on and off, nearly killed me! Dont you have to do toilet checks then?

Toliet Checks!
For all the airlines I have worked for, it had been every 20 mins! Sometimes it is very hard to do this when you are rushed of your feet!
The way I remember the 20 min for toliets and Flight Crew - Check one then the other as they are both full of s***! JOKE!

lavs
To all QF guys and gals.....
A couple of months ago BNE catering has been informed in an internal memo to remove any lose items from any lavs! So even if the business class hand towels or fresh toilet rolls and air freshner are on the benchtops they have to be removed. I'm not sure why? Anyway I just thought i'd let some of you QF guys and gals know because some QF f/a's have wondered where things have been dissappearing to.
btw - dont forget to take the bag of empty softdrink cans out of the locked lavs so the galley guys can take them....it gets too heaavy for the cabin cleaners! :-) AND sometimes the floor turns into coke slush! eeeew.
Ciao and Lav ya all LOL!

FCOLOVER22,
You poor thing. I cannot imagine anything worse than a Haj flight. Some of those 'feral people' have never even seen a plane before, so I dread to think of the things you have to deal with on your flight. Well done to you for looking after them, I'm sure you do it with professionalism and diplomacy.

BTW I dont think I'll be putting my resume in!!! (lol)

I work for an Airline where we are also expected to check the toilets every 20 mins, and I aggree sometimes this can be very hard, if like in our airline, nearly all the crew are always on services. Or even if you do have one spare person, they are sat at the front, the rear toilets can be a long way away with 3 bar carts to get past.
However I do feel it is an important thing to do, I do not belive we are there to clean the aircraft, however the toilets can go down hill very quickly, and look, and smell like nothing else on some flights. I do not ask crew to do it thinking they may find a bomb, my main two reasons are as followed
1 Smoking does still happen, and the one place they head is the toilet. I have had a toilet fire and its amazing how quickly it can take hold, something like that over the ocean, no thanks
2 If I were a passenger that went into a dirty smell toilet with no toilet roll etc, I would not be happy, it looks dirty andunclean, and can let the whole flight down.
I would never ask anyone to clean a toilet, however restock, and wipe down the sides, and everyone should take their turn.
Have you ever considered raising this point with your airline and telling them that with the number of people you have on board it is not possible.
Who said our jobs not glamourous!!!!
