Remember, it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in their jobs.

After every flight, Qantas 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 Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

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

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last .................

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

962 - thought of you this morning coz our car is parked under a cherry tree and when I got in from swimming this morning the windscreen was a bit misty so I turned on the air full blast and suddenly I was getting married ....loads of cherry blossom blew straight in my face!......turkish delights not really made out of roses is it...if it is it confirms what I said....lol...bluk!

Hugs Satriella xx

Satriella, hahahaha, thanks for posting the aircraft maintainence problem/solution "gripe sheet" again, that last one gets me every time!

Also, yeah, Turkish Delight is made from Rose Water! hehe, I sort of like it but I can understand why people, like yourself for example, don't!

962 Thanks for the tip on SA120. Appreciate.

To all here and to 962 Few more questions, if you do not mind.

From your experience, any difference between guitars built in Japan and in other places like Korea etc.? (Though I guess Ibanez does not manufacture low range instruments in Japan).

Is it Ok to keep original strings coming with new SA120 or better change to something else? What could be the good option to go for the beginner (I guess difficult to answer because it depends very much on individual)?

Buying a new guitar, are there any well-known points to pay attention to? Known: no physical damage, neck geometry i.e. visual check + guitar must play tuned at every fret.

Any feedback on DigiTech RP50 processor and Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah?

Hey Joe, Really looking forward to the Birmingham Symphony Hall gig. If it's even one tenth as good as when I last saw you, I'd best take a change of pants. lol. I know there are a lot of incredible guitarists out there, especially those that seek your approval, but I was wondering if you'd ever heard of a guy called Darren Hurst? You can really hear the Satch influence in his songs. My Dad saw him play a gig and immediately bought me a CD from him. He has a website: http://www.myspace.com/darrenhurst I know you won't be dissapointed if you visit. Sorry for the blatant plug. I've never met the bloke personally so it's not like I'm being slimy!

Hey Stevee T!

Rock on Satchers.

Yeah, that Tool album cover is pretty cool stuff. Haven't listened to it though. Probably won't, their stuff gives me the creeps even though I like the music.

rob310...give one hope...lol...of the big dream...if you want it bad enough

davealan...he made the best of what he was given & earned
