But I do understand your point.
Spilling food all over the center console, disgusting greasy finger prints all over the PFD/MFD, sticky unknown substances on the shoulder straps, soda bottles filled with dip spit down behind the rudder pedals, etc... That is just pilots being disgusting because they don't care about the equipment or the other pilots that will fly after them.
I DO NOT think that we should be required to pay for our own iPads, but there should be a middle ground that keeps people accountable for keeping them in good working order.
