Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Apparently after every flight, FEDEX pilots fill out a form, known as a "gripe sheet" to tell mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics fix the problem, and then document their repairs on the form. Here are some actual maintenance problems submitted by the pilots (marked with a "P") and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers (marked with an "E"), who by the way have a sense of humor. P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. E: Left inside main tire almost replaced. P: Something loose in the cockpit. E: Something tightened in the cockpit. P: Dead bugs on the windshield. E: Live bugs on back order. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. E: Evidence removed. P: Suspect crack in windshield. E: Suspect you are right. P: Number 3 engine missing. E: After a brief search. engine found on right wing. P: Target radar hums. E: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. P: Mouse in cockpit. E: Cat installed in cockpit. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. E: Took hammer away from midget. P: Aircraft handles funny. E: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious. P: Auto pilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. E: Can't reproduce problem on the ground.

Catlow4697 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The onlyway to get a plane , repaired properly is to require the mechanics to fly in repaired airplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin Mad Murdock SASS #4037 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 That list has been around for over thirty years, not usually attributed to FedEx, since it predates FedEx, and FedEx does not operate target radar. The list was originally attributed to Quantas, which would explain the Engineer versus Mechanic terminology. Also it was a lot longer. Still funny, though.

Pat Riot Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 HMM is right. Been around a long time...but still hilarious. Working in rail maintenance over the years I have seen my share of these. They are funny now but not funny when things are truly wrong and you have a dipstick incorrectly writing up a problem and another dipstick responding... Examples: Train seems dark inside. Response: Sent train to sensitivity training. It’s now enlightened. Passenger complains something smells funny. Tell passenger not to sit in the stinky clown section. Master controller almost works normally. Let us know when it’s almost broke. Loud screeching noise coming from PA. Loud screeching noise removed from PA. By the way, idiot, turn your cab speaker off when making announcements ( this one caused a near fist fight in the yard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
