(this plopped into my inbox this afternoon and I thought I’d share the wealth :get it?: )

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which
conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during
the flight that need repair or correction.

The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in
writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and
the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor.

Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as
submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance
engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never
had a crash.

(P = The problem logged by the pilot.)
(S = The solution and action taken by the engineers.)
