Fly Qantas

tosh_thedude

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane but 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; 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. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
