Twice. Once in FLL, once in JFK. One in uniform, one in street clothes. Neither a check airman. One wanted the TVs on so reset them and the wifi from the cockpit. The other wanted the perfect temp. And while up there figured he spin the IRs and transfer from external to APU.

Yeah I would have a real problem with that.
Funny thing is pull that on the guys who did that to you and they would go crazy.
Wow

I always get my stuff out of the cockpit while pax deplane - so the next crew can get in there (especially when late.)
Then there's the guys that leave all their stuff while cleaning the back. And others that barge in with bags while we're still sitting there packing up.
Or my favorite - the non rev senior CA in the back that waits for MY (sorry Whitehammer) CA to go to the lav (while boarding) then comes up and starts throwing switches. Yeah, I'm typed I got this. What do you need? Are you on the release? We'll ask you to sit in the jumpseat and move the thrust levers for us if we lose all hydraulics and have no flight controls. Until then could you put the temp switch back where it was and go sit down?

This is the way I look at it. I do not ever help clean when I am on duty as a pilot. Period. If I get rushed and forget one of my duties as a pilot, I do not believe the FAA, or company will give a rats A$$ when I tell them I chose to help the FAs clean up spit cups and trash from seat pockets.
However, when I commute, I will help only after all the paying customers have deplaned. I am a patient person and I will sit and wait. (Oh, and don't forget about the old lady in 2A that also paid and is waiting for her wheelchair). Without the customers in the back, we will all be out of a job.. Safety first and stay professional my friends.

However, I'm on 8-12 company flights a week commuting, and will put on gloves in that situation. I don't understand all the pushback in that regard. It's the company's policy for non revs and they can set it as they see fit.

Seems like this thread hijacked from what the original OP was complaining about. I agree with you, I do NOT clean while on duty as the FOM specifically states its not one of our duties (although requested). If it's on duty and i'm feeling helpful, it's not until the pax are off.
