I'm not sure why you're having a hard time comprehending this. The FOM states this is not one of your duties. It also says "due to safety concerns as well as time constraints, aircraft cleaning is to be considered above and beyond working pilots..."
Your Union who is negotiating on your behalf has asked you not to participate in this action.
You were hired to be a professional pilot, not a seat janitor.
Same humanity that refuses to help a pax with a bag because it is their fault for not being strong enough, that isn't your job. It isn't your job to help someone in a wheelchair, or a mother who has more bags, for her very young kids, than she can handle, or be friendly to a scared pax, and any other thing that separate us from the animal kingdom. Yes it has everything to do with humanity. If they wrote it in your FOM, or if ALPA told you to, would it make sense? Can you think for yourself?
