After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a
gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems
encountered with the aircraft during the flight that
need repair or correction.

The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then
respond in writing on the lower half of the form what
remedial action was taken, and the pilots review the
gripe sheets before the next flight.

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

Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and
problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the
solution recorded by maintenance engineers. By the
way, Qantas is the only major airline that has NEVER
had an accident.

Announcements made by flight attendants...

To operate your seat belt insert the metal tab into the buckle and pull
tight. If you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out
in public unsupervised.

In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will
descend from the ceiling. If you have a small child traveling with you,
secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with
two small children, decide now which one you love most.

As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your
belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the
flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.

There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only four ways
off this airplane.

Last one off the plane must clean it.
