Did anyone notice that the pilot is often standing where the mechanic
needs to put something? Or how about how the mechanic drops everything
he's doing to nuke the coffee? G

That's the point: the mechanic works his tail off most of the
time while the pilot stands around, taking it easy and drinking
coffee. And then the pilot abuses the airplane, making more
unnecessary work for the mechanic.
But the pilot often gets to stay away from home a lot, while
the mechanic goes home every night.

And whining about , well, everything. Don't forget that.

Look on yoursefl as "Job security" for the mechanic. You're an economic
lynchpin in Aviation.

Eiter way can be a plus, depending..

Oh, I got the point...that's why my post quoted below had the snickering
faces But I disagree a bit about creating "unnecessary" work for the
mechanic...it is necessary work if the mechanic wants to eat and feed
the family he goes home to every night
