ASA pilots cleaning airplanes?

My buddy is at ASA, and said pilots are now required to clean planes that overnight in Atlanta.

Is he pulling my leg?

ASA is joining Delta in implementing a “Deep Clean” program across our fleet to improve our overall customer service offering. Now you have a chance to help kick off the program by volunteering for Delta Connection After Dark on Aug. 21.

Volunteers will meet at the Atlanta airport where you will be placed in teams and armed with cleaning supplies to deep clean ASA’s remain overnight (RON) aircraft. Our partners at AirServ will handle galley and lav cleaning, and will even do the vacuuming while ASA teams will handle the cabin interior including seats, seat-back pockets and tray tables. Refreshments will be provided while pride in our fleet will be plentiful.

I remember a day back on Aug 21st.

Refreshments will be provided ...

ie. Feel free to help yourself to a warm can of soda from the galley.

This sort of gimmick only works the way it is intended when the relationship between management and its employee groups is a healthy one.

Why doesn't ALPA picket the event?

Why doesn't ALPA picket the event?

Um, because it's in the middle of the night on the ATL airport ramps. Or is it at the MTC hangar? Either way nobody will be there to see them.
