After every flight, 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.
By the way, Quantas is the only major airline that has never had an
accident. <editor: Really?>
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Quantas' pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
