I check in with the captain and ask for a rid. Nowhere does it say anything about jumpseaters. Ask yourselves, would you order a beer in uniform commuting home from work in uniform, then why clean in uniform.
I always ask the Inflight if I can get there bags down from the overhead, and the majority are way happier with that than watching us clean. Every law break or preflight briefing, I'll tell the inflight prior, I'll do anything for you guys/gals but I'm not cleaning. Confrontation is defused
I like your thinking. Do you have any documented references that can be used to legally validate what you just said? Distinguishing between "passriding" and "jumpseating" is indeed a brilliant technicality. I just want to make sure BJ doesn't use the two words interchangeably.
