They are separate issues, and if you do it as my first officer when we operated the jet I will courteously ask you to desist. Good luck if you call me out on my "humanity" on that.

Ha. You can decide to not clean if you want to, but you have no authority to tell the FO not to. You can make an argument about the relative merits pro and con, but if he wants to continue that's out of your control.

What's that mean?

I'm just not sure why you think it's in your right to "ask" or worse if they persist. You're setting yourself up to have HR troubles if you start harassing your FOs over stupid things like that. It's hard to get fired here, unless you get tangled up in a harassment case.

Would rather not go that route, but I'm pretty much done with guys degrading the profession for their own selfish reasons.
Losing battle buddy. Mind your own business. You don't want to do it, fine. I clean when I want to, and don't when I don't. But I darn sure would clean every leg if I were flying with a guy like you, just to pee in your corn flakes. Some of you need to tone down the ego.

Go ahead. Call away. You call pro stands, and your FO calls HR to file a harassment case. Good luck extricating yourself from that morass.
