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.

Yes it has everything to do with humanity. If they wrote it in your FOM, or if ALPA told you to, would it make sense? Can you think for yourself?

However as I asked before and you didn't answer, do you help clean the lavs during a turn? Obviously you don't. But why? There has to be a line where our jobs end and someone else's begins.

I have seen many that say they never do seats come out of the wood work to help if it's go home day and they are trying to make a commute home? Now they have a huge dilemma.......again it requires you to think for yourself or hide in selfish hypocrisy?.....
Many times on the 190 there's time to help cross belts after everyone has deplaned. However on the Airbus the last few rows always take forever to deplane. In the mean time the FA's have already cleaned and crossed the whole plane and we don't even have the chance to help.

It varies application window to window. They look at all the apps, and set the competitive mins relative to all who applied. Since the window is open right now, the next mins haven't been set yet.

It's very important that you go there knowing things about the airline. You can get selected for an interview on the spot. It's more than just a meet and greet.
Good luck!
