No exceptions!!!! If deadheading, you are on a bought seat. It is not and should not be used for anyone but you. I don't care what the situation is. Decrease your situational awareness and take your seat. Getting people on is not your problem while deadheading. More often than not, a legit jumpseating pilot gets left behind due to deadheaders not using their company paid for seat.

At my airline, no one jumpseats while deadheading. It's a big no-no.

2. Thanks for quoting what I wrote. The point of “should” was to address the difference in wording between will and should or required and expected. Pretty sure i covered it with the manual references if anyone is still confused. But you knew that.

3. There’s no expectation.
FOM 1.37.3 Reporting for duty
Pilots are REQUIRED to report...
So you “must” or you will find youreself in a dependability review.

Words are chosen very carefully.
Expected is a much stronger word than "should". And it is absolutely written company policy that your flight benefits may be suspended if you don't clean as "expected".

Expected isn’t nearly as strong of a word as must. And your benefits MAY be suspended. Not will.

We can do this all day.

You clean all you want. When i pass ride, I’ll do my seat maybe my row and depart without impending the passengers deplaning process.

I do the same as you, but not convinced the company shares our definition of what's required. Also see WAY to many BlueJet pilots cleaning begrudgingly because of the written policy.

Yet you continue to argue for the company side? Forgive me but I just don’t get it.

It’s pretty clear in the manuals to me.

I don't argue the company's "side" at all. The company argues their side with FAA legal reinterpretation and emails from executives reinforcing the written policy.

I don't like how pilots like you and the union choose to not push back on the written policies themselves. We have MANY pilots cleaning because they are fearful of the WRITTEN POLICY. I don't like that.

Nuke the fake culture.

Its really simple. If you don't want to clean at anytime or anyplace, than negotiated it into the next contract. If you just walk off the plane after doing one row or nothing at all, you deserve to be (and I quote Johanna) reported straight to her. Argue definitions with her and see where that gets you. She will clue you into what she means by light cleaning too. No one is finished until we all are finished, so do your duty and don't leave your fellow employees with your share of it.

Having said that, the company needs to hire cleaners once and for all and end this for everyone.
I thought about your well thought out response and the answer is NO.

By the way, as I alluded to earlier, and you well know but chose not to acknowledge, the email to us from SVP Customer Experience dated 11-21-2018 clear says:

"It's not only a *REQUIREMENT* for keeping your pass riding privileges, it's... blah, blah, blah culture-puke words".

Doesn't sound like "should".

Nuke the fake CULTure.

Absolutely perfect. Maybe Bluetruth doesn't know this is a PILOT forum? Airline PILOT central.

And, after careful consideration Bluetruth, I have to also say NO.

I had to finally create an account and reply to this because this is SO FAR OFF BASE that it couldn't possibly be written by a line pilot.

Either that, or it is EPIC level trolling/sarcasm and I salute you. I'm honestly at a loss as to which it is.
