Hey there guys
These aren't necessarily bad haha perhaps more bad taste with all the problems on QANTAS flights lately....but kind of amusing though!!!
Apparently after every flight Qantas pilots fill out a form which is called a 'gripe sheet'. It 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 humour. Here are some of the actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' Pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers. Who would have thought it eh..Aussie's having a sense of humour!!!
You guys need to remember that QANTAS have never crashed !!!!!
Pilots: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacing.
Engineers: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.
Pilots: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
Engineers: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
Pilots: Something loose in cockpit.
Engineers: Something tightened in cockpit.
Pilots: Dead bugs on windshield.
Engineers: Live bugs on back-order.
Pilots: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
Engineers: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
Pilots: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
Engineers: Evidence removed.
Pilots: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
Engineers: That's what they're for.
Pilots: Suspected crack in windshield.
Engineers: Suspect you're right.
Pilots: Number 3 engine missing.
Engineers: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
Pilots: Aircraft handles funny.
Engineers: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
Pilots: Target radar hums
Engineers: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
Pilots: Mouse in cockpit.
Engineers: Cat installed.
my favourite Qantas joke...
Pilot: Noise coming from under instrument panel which sounds like a midget pounding on something with a small hammer.
Engineers: Took small hammer away from midget
