No longer cleaning? Are they going to ask the passengers to do it for them?
I say this half joking-half serious - on one of the delayed flights last week, the CSM asked passengers to please put the safety cards at the front of the seat pocket so they could turn the aircraft around quickly and not delay the next lot of passengers any longer (I think infuriating people even more to be honest). I guess asking the passengers to do a quick spray and wipe would only be a little bit extra!
After the announcement she even said to the other FA "I doubt they'll do it, they never listen anyway". I felt like saying "with that attitude you'll have a job at QF in no time!"
The other weird thing was she said at the start of the flight - "we apologise that due to the delay we weren't able to have the cabin up to the usual standard with the seatbelts crossed on your seat" ... what the???
But ... if increasing turn around etc is in the pipeline, then that's good news. If I do see a real difference with less delays and cancellations over the next 6-12 months when I'm flying them with work, then I will consider them for personal flights in future as well.
