Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. This is very reassuring to those who fly.
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a ‘gripe sheet,’ which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
Pilot: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
Mechanics: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
