i needed a good laugh, and this found it's way to my in-box.




Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of
humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints by QANTAS
pilots and the corrective action recorded by mechanics. By the way
Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

"P" stands for the problem the pilots entered in the log,
"S" stands for the corrective action taken by the mechanics.

S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
