Maybe I’m not indoctrinated into the Blue yet but why would you clean a “couple of rows” on a DH if the crew took care of you? Why does that matter? You’re DH’ing as a crew member to be in position for the company, they aren’t doing you a favor?
Cleaning a couple of rows on a DH is like a pilot who buys coffee for the FAs on every turn, they soon expect it from every pilot. And the company will continue to expect it if people are doing it.
I’m sorry, but short of you making the mess yourself, stop cleaning up any rows. It was said the company is not enforcing this policy for deadheads, but I guarantee they might if FAs start complaining that pilots DH’ing aren’t cleaning a couple rows like Boomer does.
I mean, WTF, cleaning the plane after deadheading?! No F way.
