if this "aircraft appearance survey" is what I think it is, it is a complete waste of time and only BS busy work for you. Over here at 9e, management DOES NOT CARE what kind of pigpen condition the aiplanes are in, you WILL NOT wait for groomers if it will delay the flight. I can't count the number of times I've been called on my day off by Pinnacle management to explain why we were 5 minutes late because I wouldn't board the aircraft in the pigpen condition it was in. We actually just got a memo last week saying we are NOT to delay boarding for aircraft cleaning/grooming.
As usual, on time bonus checks for management at the expense of livable conditions for the pax/crew.
