If you want to say bye or something pilot related, then cool. Cleaning? Not pilot related. Maybe instead of cleaning seatbacks you could clean the flight deck since it’s not ever cleaned by cleaners. Then at least you are helping pilots with your janitorial services.
Thanks for helping though. You sound like perfect jetblue material. Targeted hiring at its finest.

At the same time I'm not a jetBlue employee so I'm not completely aware of all of the ins and outs of what JB flight crews have had to deal with in the past when it comes to managements expectations.
