I am sure that some of you will have heard these before, but a US aviation site posted these little anecdotes and The Mole thought you might like them: –
After every flight, pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The following are alleged to be maintenance complaints submitted by pilots (P) of a well-known airline and the solutions recorded (S) by the maintenance engineers……………..
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on backorder.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you’re right.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under the instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from the midget.
I am sure that there is more than adegree of trugh in them!
If you have any good anecdotes (publishable please!!) or stories about airlines or travel in general and in particular in the above vein about the industry or even customers, then let The Mole know, by clicking on: –[email protected]
