Cleaning the coffee pot?

[Midnight Flyer]

Just curious - are these the pots in the planes or the ones in the hanger next to the drill press? Dig up that old thread about washing the plane & add coffee pots...

doesn't matter..coffee pots are coffee pots

Sans.

I got out of corporate aviation nearly 15 years ago but when I flew corporate I never really saw the harm in filling the coffee pot or cleaning it. I was paid to take care of the pax and fly the plane and coffee,softdrinks arranging catering is part of the gig. When you start talking about washing or maintaining that is different but if it was part of the job when offered then man up and do it. I can't stand these whiners who were told all the job entails and they accept it just to piss and moan about what they had already been told. I guess it comes down to have a contract or do what is asked of you or quit, but I am not going to berate those corp pilots that do wash their plane or otherwise since its their descision and oh did I mention I left corporate nearly 15 years ago.

G200, I thought your FA wiped the struts down?

Hold on - before this gets out of hand and devolves into a "duties thread" - I made my "washing the coffee pot comment" in jest. See And I don't know about the rest of you, but the "unwritten" coffee pot standards where I come from are completely different when one compares coffee pots from the shop/hanger and the ones in the home/plane/office. And that's all I got to say about that...

Boiling water and a box of baking soda and let soak overnight.

A 2 page thread in less than a day and it's about coffee pots. Way to take it to the next level FI!

She doesn't even clean the coffee maker, lol.

BTW - I'd trust nobody with my Grumman struts, that's a job for a dedicated corporate pilot like myself....its almost as important as checking the expiration date on the potato chips.
