I believe that mandated training is under arbitration as we should be paid for it. Company can mandate whatever training they want to (legally) but we need to be paid for it.

I don't particularly like the policy, but I comply with it because it's required and I non rev a lot. Too many pilots mixing up "non rev" cleaning with "on duty" cleaning. The latter doesn't exist and isn't expected.

You're compensated accordingly. Doesn't make you better or above them.

We've got pilots here who don't have college degrees, and flight attendants with MBAs neither is better than the other.

Oh- because it sounded like you were accusing those who dont clean as elitists. Btw, why doesnt B6 have people to take out the garbage bag in the flight deck?
In the real airlines, that task is not left up to the pilot. For the record, I dont really care, but it shows yet another reason why we are a Punch-n-Judy "major" regional.

We're not talking about what's expected when you're on duty.

When you snub your nose at the FAs after you just non reved, it's a big F.U. to in-flight. Often after they've extended professional courtesies of their own like free food or alcohol (they're supposed to charge you).

So yes, the guys that think they're better than inflight because they have more experience are elitists.

So not cleaning is a sign that a non-revving pilot thinks he's better than another; Your point is taken. I dont believe thats what the behavior reveals.
I dont commute so I could care less, but enjoy your gloves.

Rascal's comment proved my point. It's a large part of the behavior. There other half I believe to be confusion amongst the pilot group in protesting cleaning while on duty versus while exercising their non rev privileges.

Wrong again/ the FAs are ****ed because they are over worked, under paid and jetblue is too cheap an airline to hire the required employees to clean the plane. Guys like you are why it took so long to get a union.
Blame pilots right cs?

The FAs have plenty to be ****ed about. But they definitely get fired up by the guys who are *******s with their "better than thou" attitude.
