a/c cleaning

I had a flight back from PVG and all the loos got into a pretty horible state. Of course it is the mucky pax that caused it ([xx(]), but I must admit to quietly fuming when trod in a load of pee, particularly as I wasn't wearing my shoes! I had a word with one of the crew who closed the loo down, but of course that only solved 1 loo and there is a limit to how many they can close. I had a word with customer service when I got back who tell me that the crew are not allowed to do any cleaning because they handle food.

I could swear that on other flights the loos have been cleaned. Is this other virgins' experience or is my memory failing me with my advancing years.

By the way, the a/c was a 343 - G-vail. One of the crew told me that it is known as G-Vial by the crew because it so regularly goes technical, and the IFE so often doesn't work. Sure enough the IFE didn't work so me and my soggy sock had to make do with reading a book.[:(]

(I do like these little smilies - are they normal on message boards?)

Toilets are supposed to be checked every twenty minutes.

It is the crew who should monitor the toilets in flight and are responsible for restocking hand towels, and toilet roll.

We are all human and I dont see why the crew should have to wipe pee off the floor, surely we are all adult enough to aim better!!!

I have seen many passenger vomit in the sink!!!! why??? The sink then gets bloked and we can either lock the toilet off or scoop the sick out and in the toilet.

This is going above and beyond the call of duty as well as being a serious health hazard to everyone on board.

I must admit DEL flights can have particularly distressing scenes in the toilets

I take your point about "above and beyond" - particularly with the sinks example you quote. It was just that my (often unreliable) recollection was that the clean up used to happen.

At the end of the day it is, as we both said, it is the passengers who's aim is out.

Perhaps the toilets should be fitted with the following notice...

"Our aim is to keep these toilets as clean as possible. Your aim would also be appreciated."

Or maybe

"Please be seated during the whole performance!"

In my line of work (yachting in case you hadn't guessed) we try and encourage our clients to "be seated during the whole performance" as you put it. In fact I like the phrase so much I am going to get some notices of it made up to put in the heads of our yachts if that is OK. Unfortunately I am not sure it would work on VS though, particularly with those gents who have had a couple too many of the freebees.

But "Our aim is to keep these toilets as clean as possible. Your aim would also be appreciated." is a literary masterpiece!

Being 6ft 1inch tall, that is the only way I can use those tiny cubicles anyway, either that or my head is facing away from my aiming position! :D:D:D

Be my guest, the phrase is definitely not copyrighted.
