Airplane Deficiencies.

After every flight, Quantas airline pilots fill out a form called a "gripe sheet", which tells mechanics problems with the aircraft. the mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form and then pilots review the gripe sheet before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some of the complaints submitted to maintenance and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.

By the way, Quantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
