    After every Qantas Airlines flight, pilots complete a gripe sheet
    which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the
    aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The
    form used is a piece of paper on which the pilot completes the top
    part listing the problem, which the mechanics read and then
    respond in writing on the lower half of the form what
    remedial action was taken, so the pilot on the next
    flight of that plane can review the form before taking
    off.

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

    Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and
    responses..... with P = the problem logged by the pilot, and S =
    the solution and action taken by engineers. (Qantas, by the way,
    is the only major airline that has never had an accident.)

    S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

    P: DME volume unbelievably loud.

    S: DME volumes set to more believable level.

    P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to Stick.

    S: That's what they're there for.

    S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

    S: Suspect you're right.

    P: Number 3 engine missing.

    S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

    P: Aircraft handles funny.

    S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.
