  1. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of
    humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints by QANTAS
    pilots and the corrective action recorded by mechanics. By the way
    Qantas is the only major airline that has never had a major accident.

    (P stands for the problem the pilots entered in the log, and S stands
    for the corrective action taken by the mechanics.

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

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