Beating a dead horse I guess, but the pilots who refuse to wash stuff are also ussualy the ones who break stuff and show up late. They re also the ones who often end up turning down any job other than a full time flying only job and end up still sitting on thier butts applying for jobs they dont qualify for while thier harder working flight school buddies have worked for some crook and quit, spent some time on a forklift or shovel, and slowly made thier way to the left seat of a pretty cool airplane.

cool!

There was a time when I was a lowtime guy happy to have a great job but low paying, pretty standard. We didn't fly too much so I took a part time job 'shoveling shit' so to speak. No it wasn't the owners 'shit', it was someone else's 'shit', but it was still shitty.

Was I more respectable as a pilot for shoveling for someone else (assuming at the end of the day the income was equal)?
