I have to agree, that idea is about the dumbest idea I have ever heard. Period. It will never work. No one would ever volunteer.
With that said, I have to respond to some earlier posts about "outsourcing" cabin cleaning. I don't know about other airlines, but I know at United, cabin cleaners are covered under the mechanics union, and it is not unusual for a janitor to be making $40,000 a year. To me that is rediculous, and I have no problem with outsourcing those jobs.
But trying to get people to do that job for free..... hahaha. Ya right!

That is the problem with what is happening in America........................
Any labor (actually many white collar jobs too) job with pay and benefits above poverty levels are being outsourced to lower wages with no benefits.............often to "Guest workers" many of them undocumented...................Get the picture??
