    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.

    S: That's what they're there for!

    Your be amazed at the number of people who will complain about non issues. Make it look like you adjusted something when you really didn't and they'll say its working so much better.

    I've done this very thing on multiple occasions. Some people just need to be made to feel as if they are in control.

    We worked on some tooling on a machine one night and they called us back out later saying the machine was running slower after we got done with it. Nothing we did could have possibly affect the machine's speed but you couldn't convince them of that. I'm surprised these idiots don't drown while drinking through a straw.
