Why Pilots Prefer Airplanes to Women
* Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.
* Airplanes don't get mad if you do a "touch and go."
* Airplanes don't object to a pre-flight inspection.
* Airplanes have strict weight and balance limitations.
* Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you've flow before.
* Airplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time.
* Airplanes don't mind if you look at other airplanes.
* Airplanes don't mind if you buy airplane magazines.
* Airplanes don't whine unless something is really wrong.
* However, when airplanes go quiet, just like women, it's usually not good

After every Qantas Airlines flight, pilots complete a gripe sheet which
conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the
flight that need repair or correction. The form used is a piece of paper on
which the pilot completes the top part listing the problem, which the
mechanics read and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form
what remedial action was taken, so the pilot on the next flight of that
plane can review the form before taking off.
Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor.
Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and responses with P =
the problem logged by the pilot, S = the solution and action taken by
engineers.

Qantas, by the way, is the only major airline that has never had an
accident.

S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.



P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.



P: Mouse in cockpit.

I usually don't find lists like those all that funny but that list and some of the gripe sheet made me laugh.

That one will be sent to Mom.

My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I've seen the gripe sheet a bunch of times. I still laugh every time.
