Very clever! Sounds like the techs are capable and competant to add humor to the workplace. Shows a healthy vitality that more workplaces need! Loved the ‘live bugs backordered’ and ‘cat installed’. Great!

This is actually from Quantas, not UPS - and some of these have been altered a bit to make them more funny.

HAHA, I had seen this same thing a few years back (except it was the Navy, not UPS, and a bit more vulgar). I had been trying to find it. I love Stumbleupon!

Funny, but aircraft engineers and aircraft mechanics are different animals.

Originally this meme was about Quantas airlines. Quantas has one of the lowest accident-ratings (albeit not free of incidents) of any airline in the world, unlike UPS who has plenty of incidents with their aircraft.

Additionally, these things are completely fabricated.

I Love finding this list. You see, Ken and I got bored one day while serving in Desert Storm and wrote the list. In 1998 I posted it on the Internet (before I thought of making money on the Internet) for free.

We have been:
“USAF pilots”
“Lockheed Engineers”
“Delta Airline mechanics”
and many many more.

We were really two USAF F-117 crew chiefs.

This is very old and not at all from UPS, but is a compilation from several airlines. I am an AMT and have seen this since I was in school in the late ’90s.

I’d love to publish this in my newspaper. It’s pretty funny.
My brother works as an aircraft engineer and he’s going to love when I show it to him.

For a start the “target radar” is a bit of a giveaway that it isn’t a commercial airline…

My favourite is:

P: Flight attendants cold at altitude.
S: Ground tests — OK.

Where ever you ripped this off of, they got it wrong. These are actual transcripts from Qantas Airlines, NOT UPS.

My proof?
“By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.” Thats quoted from the article, yet UPS is not a major airline, they ship packages…

the IFF does dot function in OFF mode is a military complaint. IFF stands for Indicator Friend or Foe.

I laughed like a drain reading this, brilliant! Don’t care where it came from or who wrote it, it’s great! My father was an aircraft mechanic for the RAF and would have absolutely loved this!

gimme a break. no tech would put these responses in the logbook and without amm references. As always blue collared feeble minds are spoonfed info and believe it without asking for the sources of documentation. you dumb retards.
