Never let it be said that ground crews and aircraft engineers lack a sense of humour. 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 fatal accident.
(PROBLEM is the problem the pilots entered in the log, and RESPONSE is the corrective action taken by the mechanics.)

PROBLEM: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
RESPONSE: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

PROBLEM: Test flight OK, except autoland very rough.
RESPONSE: Autoland not installed on this aircraft.

PROBLEM: Something loose in cockpit.
RESPONSE: Something tightened in cockpit.

PROBLEM: Dead bugs on windshield.
RESPONSE: Live bugs on backorder.

PROBLEM: Autopilot; in altitude-hold mode produces a 200-fpm (feet per minute) descent.
RESPONSE: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

PROBLEM: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
RESPONSE: Evidence removed.

PROBLEM: DME volume unbelievably loud.
RESPONSE: DME volume set to more believable level.

PROBLEM: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
RESPONSE: That's what they're there for!

PROBLEM: IFF inoperative.
RESPONSE: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

PROBLEM: Suspected crack in windscreen.
RESPONSE: Suspect you're right.

PROBLEM: Aircraft handles funny.
RESPONSE: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

PROBLEM: Radar hums.
RESPONSE: Reprogrammed radar with words.

PROBLEM: Mouse in cockpit.
RESPONSE: Cat installed

cough repost

i have seen this many many times over the last few years floating around the internet .. sometimes it's the air force, sometimes a commercial airline. never seen it as qantas though

BTW Qantas have had plane crashes - they call them "incidents" because it sounds better and allows them to say they never crash
