Ok, I can't validate that this REALLY came from UPS, but still these made me laugh.... even having seen them before.

Enjoy! TGIF!!!!

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school
diploma to fix one. 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, albeit they may lack a formal higher
education, have ever lacked 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.


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: Probably because auto-land is 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 has a 200 ft. per min. 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 IS 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 acting 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.

And the best one for last:
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like midget pounding on
something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

I have seen this before, but with a different name than UPS attached to it. And I believe it far more likely that educational merits would be switched. I don't believe it is necessary too have a degree to get commercial pilots license, but it is absolutely necessary to have a great deal of post secondary education and or training to repair one.

Yes, I had mentally noted that. There is no requirement for a degree for any level of pilot certification. Not sure of the requirements that the airlines have, but I know plenty of commercial pilots that have no degrees. You do, of course, have to take have training and certification as well as proper medical certification.

On the mechanics side, to work on and sign off aircraft repairs, you need to be a certified A&P mechanic.
