If the FAs are going to get less value out of the concession of having to clean, you better believe they are going to want to make sure everyone cleans. Why should they have to clean for next to nothing and be told its next to nothing since "everyone helps out".

umm no.

So either everyone has to clean , and there has to be easy and swift accountability (like a check box on the ipad seating chart showing s4s that can be toggled cleaned/did not clean that gets auto sent to inflight leadership and the leadership of the offending work group, is one solution i've heard), or the company stops all this madness and agrees to hire cleaners as part of the first contract with the FAs.

But just waving and saying bye as you walk past all the non rev FAs digging through pockets needs to end one way or the other. Happy cleaning, and don't forget its more than just crossing seat belts
