Public Service Announcement

At Eagle we had to clean the plane on turns of less than 30 minutes.

It sucked.

We'd find all sorts of interesting things. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

We'll all have to have a "What's the nastiest damned thing you've found while cleaning the cabin" at Network JC.
 
It's amusing to watch the crew trying to clean the aircraft as we're on initial decent, sometimes bucking around and lurching... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/spin2.gif I wish it was that fun to clean the house...
 
I am now in school to become an airline pilot. My school will be flying be 1900's as soon as the ground school and IOE are done. I have heard about cleaning everything that is humanly possible in the pax section of the 1900. BUT I tell everyone come with me to work, I am a critical care RN, most recently working ICU. You want to talk about some of the nastiest products on Earth to clean. I am not looking forward to cleaning the 1900 but at least I do not have to roll a 350 pound patient to do it. Now, getting my 6 foot 4 inch frame between the seats to clean is the challenge!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

I've cleaned my fair share of things at the grocery store(used condoms, used syringes, dirty diapers, vomit, people that can't hit the crapper while they are crapping, rotting meat and other goodies) so it can't get much worse than that and the pay although bad still beats $6 an hour.

I thought the same thing....the check has already cleared, though - it's too late.
 
"I am now in school to become an airline pilot."

I remember the days when one went to school to become a CFI and then worked very hard to gain the experience and hours necessary to become an airline pilot. Now you just go to airline pilot school....how nice.....

Which airline pilot school are you attending?

Guess!!!
 
One of my most important jobs as a freight company F/O, is to replace the plastic garbage bag that is tied to the back of the center pedistal. It's bad form when the Capt goes to throw away his Sani-Com wipes and there is no bag.

Sorry...that's the best I can do....Sani-com wipes....

Freight is Great.
 
Well, then, my days doing retail will help out when it's time. On one of my first days at work, I found a used condom under a pile of clothes.

And when I thought about the two people who were in there, I just about hurled again.

I was thinking that "this would be nothing to a nurse" and then I found your post! I always tell people that before I had 4 kids I was very much in the "eweee", can't touch anything phase. After being thrown up on numerous times and all the other fun clean-up jobs, it got much easier.
 
When I was on the Beech, I cleaned up the back on every single turn. If I was starting a shift and found anything, it went in the "mailbox" of the FO who flew the plane before me. People got the hint.

One of my roomies failed to clean up one day, so lucky me found a sick sack full of spit in it. You can take the plane outta West Virginia, but you can't take the West Virginia outta the plane. P'tuey. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I still think most passengers are convinced that once they're off the plane, a brigade of illegal migrant workers comes on to tidy things up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif Ever wonder how often those pillows and blankets get changed out?
 
I love getting in our flight schools planes and finding bottles of dip spit, all kinds of crumpled up paper towels, left over food, etc...

I like the trash in the mailbox idea. Usually I just find out who put it in there and tell them not to do it again, but obviously it's not working.

For corporate pilots, I feel your pain.

I don't feel no pain, I had a 8 1/2 hour leg from London home yesterday, went in back after we got home and there was a scrap of trash anywhere, the seatbelts were even refolded just the way they found them... The F/O pulled the trash from the trash can, we pitched the rest of the left over catering and we off the plane in less than 3 mins...

Our passengers know they will have to see us again... The take good care of the planes, cuz they know if they don't, they could get restricted from using them... and then they'd have to ride the airlines...
 
Yeah, a couple of my friends fly corporate. They say the execs behave very well. They know the pilots and they don't want to make their lives any harder so they clean up after themselves.

I flew for a guy who would intentionally leave greasy fingerprints in obscure places so he could say "Aha! You aren't cleaning the airplane!" Of course, after a few times I made sure to leave the greasy fingerprints there for him to find.

God, what an ass! But it looks like you got a little payback, huh? Have a little fried chicken before you get on the plane, and smear the grease in the obscure places? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
