I doubt it...of course, anyone whose flown Delta might notice that they've closed the doors 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure...did they release the brakes...only the shadow knows. Sorry, but the disgruntled employees of other airlines will always think you guys are a bunch of liars. Must be pretty bad at it considering your on time numbers aren't steller. I dunno....is it part of the hiring process that SWA will only considers liars and cheats as pilots?
How about the napkins to maimtenance, instead of the A/C log book, will the napkins also go away.
Hmmm...I dunno. When it comes to the plane me or my family flies on and maintenance....if there is something to be done, I could care less if the mechanic got the information on a napkin or a nice Form MA-B-15 or whatever the hell the proper form is called. Heck...if no forms are handy, it's kinda comforting to know that a maintenance issue was communicated despite the lack of a form.
Check out the FAR's, there nothing wrong about the flt crew talking to maintenance about a problem,s. but leaving a napkin on the center pedestal with the mechanical item and not in the log. that's not in the FAR's. the napkin could be place in the trash and the malfunction not address. some item no problem (reading lights, galley items), but some, T/R slow to deploy,intermittent gear unsafe light,stab trim slow to move on decent, fluctuating hydrulic pressure in cruise ok on ground,bleed air pressure intermittent. to mention a few on napkins, Do you feel safe?
I'll let Southwest's record speak for itself. You're damn right I feel safe.
be the last PAX off the plane, and look in the C/P, center padestal area, row 9 reading light, r/h hyd press intermittent, no maintenance show, crew left, I waited for my connecting flight, which was next gate over, new flight crew on the same plane I arrived in load up and left, reading light, ok, r/h hyd press, I don't thing so. NAPKINS.
