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 problem(s), 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 More.. submitted by UPS ' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance
engineers.
