Stick a fork in this, it’s done.
exactly this. you guys want to beat a dead horse over and over about cleaning. it's a non issue. a non event. or even better it's a de minimis event.
They know it's not enforceable, but our "culture" dictates that they will continue to say it preach it and scream if from the heavens until one more guy believes it or is scared into doing work that's not required.
About a year ago a FA threatened to write me up for not participating in the blueturn. I simply smiled and said ok. I couldn't care any less if she did or didn't but I heard nothing from it. Won't hear anything from it, and no one else will either. Unless you are a total Aśś clown on the plane or leave such a mess that anyone would be embarrassed to have made in public (like some of our HPN-PBI people) you'll never hear a peep from anyone. Smile, use manners, be polite, be a normal human, or in other words just don't be a díck and you'll be just fine.
