| There is just something to be said for curling up with an old fashioned book. Is it the feel of the pages? The fact that even during a hurricane, with no power, you still can access it? Or maybe it is the sound of the first time you open it... a slight crack, or the crinkling of the pages? How about the heavenly smell of a brand new book???? anyone? anyone??? Bueller? Bueller????
Now you youngins won't know about this, what with your high speed xeros machines an all, but does anyone else remember mimiograph (sp?) machines? You know, the purple ink that smelled soooo nice when you got an almost damp copy of the test or whatever. Frye? Frye???
But these days, everyone is in such a hurry. Now now now!!!! I need that yesterday!!! You stupid twit! I don't have time to wait 35 seconds!!!! Now you have made me late.
What ever happened to the old addage, "where there's a will, there's a way."?????? I would think that today's entreprenur would find a way. But I may just be tilting at windmills. :::shrug:::

| After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which
conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
(P = The problem logged by the pilot.)
(S = The solution and action taken by the engineers.)

S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
