"Cleanliness is next to godliness right?"

"Cleanliness is next to godliness right?" We agree. However, with our current economic crisis and an airline industry operating nearly in the red, some corners may be cut and the emphasis on cleanliness may be affected.
A recent article in the New York Times states "The filth factor aboard US jetliners has increased noticeably since the industries financial downturn after 2001" They go on to say "several factors are at play. First, planes are flying at near record capacity levels. And since most airlines have discontinued full menu service which means those passengers flying on the packed planes are now bringing their own meals on board. This means many planes are now landing littered with a smorgasbord of wrappers and leftovers." The paper added "this increased waste must now be cleaned by fewer and fewer employees thanks to widespread layoffs and a lack of proper cleaning supplies. So now these planes, which make money only when they fly, sit at the gate for shorter periods, often making cleanup a rush job."
