It makes the FAs see you as equals and it makes the company see everyone involved as an overpaid aircraft cleaner.

Your job is to safely and skillfully fly airplanes, not be a janitor. Don't stoop to this level... every time you do, it lowers the bar for the rest of us and further strengthens the expectation of everyone else that pilots should and will do it.
