I don't receive many bits of humour but this one was really cute, I have to admit.
Gripe Sheet --
After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a form, called
a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with
the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems,
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 ofhumor.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted
by Quantas' pilots and the solutions recorded by
maintenance engineers. By the way, Quantas is the only
major airline that has never had an accident.
(P= The problem logged by the pilot.)
(S= The solution and action taken by mechanics.)--------------------------------------------

S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.

S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.P: Mouse in cockpit.

Never let it be said that us Aussies don't have a sense of humour.
