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 our jobs.
After every flight, UPS 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 UPS ' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, 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 friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
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.
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.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Have a great time! But don't forget to check in sometime. Your Ohana's missing you!
Btw, does Trout Sashimi well?

Buckets of Rain to drink (some kind of heavenly concoction) by the way, Japanese male passengers drank every drop of Scotch on the flights (not counting what they drank from their duty free purchase). But they were fun to talk to anyway.
for food, Club Sandwhiches... after 2 weeks in a Kyoto Ryokan eating traditional Japanese food we returned to Narita and ordered double Clubs.

Patty, What a great story! I think you should write a book on all those interesting trips. You could call it "Working In the Clouds", or maybe "Trans Pacific Thoughts", or . . .
Sorry, got lost there for a while...
Cya Friday!

I'm going to try a new recipe for ginger marinated shrimp, and an old American one for brownies (that is, open the box, add eggs and butter, stir and bake).

Across the Pacific lies Thailand, so I'm bringing Thai food. In the middle of the Pacific lies the Hawaiian islands, so I am bringing some new Hawaiian songs. Let's get back to the 'ukulele's roots!
