The Most Disgusting Thing About Airplanes | Filth

[@ELPJM09]

I used to clean airplane interior during turnarounds. The flight would arrive, after the last passengers gets off we get on and start doing a quick clean. Picking up trash from seats, vacuuming, replacing trash bins, looking inside seat pockets for trash. Make sure all lavatories where clean and stocked with toiletries. All this under 5 minutes. Many times a flight would arrive where someone vomited in the seat or a kid would make a huge mess, spilled drinks, crumbs everywhere. The worst was one when an elderly person missed the toilet and went all over the floor.

All that smoke built up a nasty, sticky, tar laden, gunk on the insulation, back of the panels, air vents, external outlet valves, etc. So when airlines were told to ban smoking, they saw the maintenance saving it would give them and were only too happy to follow the new rules and ban smoking in flight.

There has been fatal cases of personnel being overcame by chemical contamination because some dickhead decided to carry a poisonous substance in a glass jam jar.

For many years, the toilet drain had been detached, so the toilet simply emptied into the crawlspace beneath the house. When the plumber came to install a new drain, nobody wanted to crawl under the house. He offered a bonus to his helpers if they would do the job, and a bidding war began. I don't remember the amount, but at some price point one of the guys agreed to crawl about 30 feet through an 18" crawl space filled with years of raw sewage, some of it from that very day. He then had to lay there for some time while performing the repair. When he emerged, completely covered in excrement, he stripped naked in my back yard and they sprayed him down with the garden hose. I gave him a change of clothes, and he got the rest of the day off. I never saw the guy after that day, but I always wanted to ask him if he would do it again.

At what intervals this full body procedure is done?

[@inexactspace1231]

They said yearly I believe

[@germanythroughlens7274]

@@inexactspace1231 Frankly yearly seems impossible.

[@singleproppilot]

No, not yearly. It’s based on the number of hours and cycles flown. It’s several years, minimum.

As a 22 year Captain, the inside of the planes are filthy beyond belief. The airlines don’t want to spend the money to actually clean, they wait till the carpet and seats are so filthy they replace them, for anything under a 1000 miles I will drive. The air filtration systems are the worst, had a mechanic tell me that they don’t replace the filters until the plane “smells like ass”. A ramper overfill the lav tank, the airplane was back in service in 12 hours, they only cleaned the patently obvious filth. Budget airlines, this is your cheap ticket.

Kudos to the inspector, his whole posture radiates professionalism! Though this is the poshiest inspector uniform I've ever seen! hahah Probably because it's British

[@JohnnyAngel8]

Once a year this is done? I'd change that to every 4 months.

lmao dudes just hoovering with a henry and billing probably 20k

Not really

[@480_Detailing]

It’s gonna be a super technical cleaning. I don’t understand why they barley get paid minimum wage then 😂

[@triple7marc]

Because it’s entry-level.

I've done this to my station wagon inside and out with a roll of paper towels and vinegar-based Windex. With a little patience it has great results.

Monarch, blast from the past!

I always thought Filth was U.K. Based. But it’s all American in its writing. Probably how they manage to use stuff like this without copyright issue😊

[@TomatoWithARifle]

what copyright issue?

[@Landie_Man]

@@TomatoWithARifle when the channel first started, they had a lot of problems with using these programmes. Or in this case, segments of the programmes.

Must be an old film too, hasn't Monarch been bust for years?

Glad the how it's made narrator is still in business

I used to work for this airline’s mro, at 2 other stations they had. Was a really good company to work for. Shame it went down.
