Flugfólk
After every flight Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet", which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics fix 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 humour.
Here are some of the actual complaints submitted by Qantas pilots (marked P)
and the solutions recorded (marked S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
