[Spencer Sholly]

> Gripe Sheet
> 
> Remember, it takes a college degree to fly a plane for a
> major airline, i takest only a high school diploma to fix one.
> 
> After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a
> "Gripe Sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the
> aircraft.
> 
> The mechanics correct the problems and document their
> repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets
> before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground
> crews lack a sense of humor.
> 
> Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by
> Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded
> (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
> 
> P: Suspected crack in windshield.
> S: Suspect you're right.
> 
> P: Aircraft handles funny.
> S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be
> serious.
> 
> P: Target radar hums.
> S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
> 
> P: Mouse in cockpit.
> S: Cat installed.
> 
> P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a
> midget pounding on something with a hammer.
