I'll continue to represent our culture by buying coffee or anything else anyone wants as was turn.

When I DH I do my row. When I work, most times, I don't even have time to go back to do that, but when I do, I use it to buy coffee for the inflight crew. Funny I used to do it even before the union email.

Size matter.

I must admit I'm excited for the change in career, after about a decade of corporate. I love(d) the 91/135 life, but I'm actually looking forward to the right seat of something bigger.

Some people prefer to have a line and make some more money, either way you will have much more control of your life and have more flexibility than in any 91/135.
The job is so much easier too, no extra duties beside flying.
Last note, we do need improvements, but things are supposed to get better with the first CBA.

I'm not sure why you're having a hard time comprehending this. The FOM states this is not one of your duties. It also says "due to safety concerns as well as time constraints, aircraft cleaning is to be considered above and beyond working pilots..."
Your Union who is negotiating on your behalf has asked you not to participate in this action.
You were hired to be a professional pilot, not a seat janitor.
