Cleaning cabins on jetblue

[vtwo]

I thought airline hired cleaners for dumping the lavs and cleaning the cabins.
The blue shower is a really crappy job.
Cheesey but I couldn't resist

why would they ask offline jumpseaters to clean the cabin?

I do not mind cleaning the cabins, it is when I am forced to dump the lavs that raises my blood pressure

I used to do that in college. Remember to jump out of the way when you pull the lever. Just in case the hose disconnects and you find yourself under a sh!t shower.

It should never have happened. We had a handful of overzealous FA's who took it upon themselves to "suggest" to offline jumpseaters that it was expected that they help clean up in return for the "free ride". It isn't expected and never has been. In fact, if they'd read their mail they'd know that they are strictly forbidden to do any such thing to our guests. A few pushy broads didn't get the memo apparently, or decided that it didn't apply to them, and they made us all look bad.

So now we're saying that not only isn't it expected that you help out, we really don't want you to even if you volunteer. This isn't an attempt to turn away gratitude, but to keep more abuses like the above from happening again. I will personally bounce off the A/C any working FA who even hints at such a thing again. I am just disgusted.

i had a FA shove gloves in my face the day that memo came out...i had not read it....being new at JB and a little shocked i did help, i was working crew...i was going to do it anyway.....but after that i wont help unless NOT told/intimidated/strongly,uncomfortably suggested! it is not a requirement for pilots to help but a nice thing to do if we have time. which i am happy to do the 95% of the time i have time!

gee i only have 4 years and 9 months left on my contract!!!!!!

Hey folks,
Just curious, do all the pilots clean the cabin at F9?

The next time they do that....just leave. They'll get the point. BTW It is in their manual, down to what seats they should clean.

You are absolutly correct. Be sure to let that FA know that as pilots we are responsible to perform our own duties first then we may help with their cabin prep duties.

I like most JB pilots are happy to assist.

Give me a break guys, we have all had nasty flight attendants give jumpseaters a hard time. At least B6 mgt came out with a memo.

hey Booster...lighten up francis.....if you read the whole thread.....you will notice that my contract statement is more sarcasm directed towards those who dont' work at JB who have a problem with such things such as signing contracts, helping clean cabins, how we pay for the airplanes...etc.....

also if you read my previous post in its entirety, you will see that i stated that I am happy to help in the back. i just won't be intimidated in doing so.

Please do! btw...where are you going to take it? no sense in coming to JB with 100 aircraft firm and 100 options after that! 1st airplane isn't even here yet. good decision.

Yeeaaah.....why don't you call us back when you at least get an ATP and a few thousand hours of PIC turbine before you make such a bold statement.

To any jumpseaters that were ever put in a compromising position of helping the FAs - please except our sincere apologies, it never should have happened. A lot of us were disgusted over it.
