Braniff Calling
Delta Airlines wants their employees to clean the airplanes on their own time. It's for "company pride," you understand.
Here's a better idea: how about every manager, VP, and pilot cuts their salaries to $50,000, sells their fancy million-dollar homes, and tries to get the company profitable again. Or was that not the sort of "sacrifice" they had in mind?
"Snap to it, peasants! Scrub those toilets. Scrape that gum. It's for company pride, so step lively. Who, me? Oh, Lord no! I'm a pilot; I don't clean!
"You there! Pick up that trash before I have you impaled!"

Delta pilot Keith Rosenkranz hoped loyal customers would appreciate the extra efforts by employees and keep doing business with the airline.
"Spirits may be down, but people should applaud any employee willing to volunteer their free time to make the product their company offers better," wrote Rosenkranz of Grapevine, Texas, in an e-mail. But he doesn't plan to fly to a hub like Atlanta to participate.

Anybody who has run ‘The Atlanta Sprint’, will agree the best thing that could happen to DELTA is to sell their assets to people who know WTF they are doing. Even as a medallion member, I will be ecstatic when this company is liquidated.
The effort allows us to focus on a key element of customers' expectations when traveling: aircraft cleanliness.
No, paying people to clean the airplanes would be focusing on that "key element." This is focusing on being a bunch of cheap assholes and practically guaranteeing that cleanliness won't be a high priority.
Here's another money-saving idea they might go for, ask the passengers to "volunteer" to clean up after themselves! After all, they're the ones that want clean airplanes! Don't let them off the plane until they've cleaned up their mess. Now that's cost-effective! I'm sure they'd be proud to show their support.
...for another airline.
