Things you will never hear an AME say

[Big Pistons Forever]

- Of course I am happy to work on my day off/allnight because you forget to snag the airplane

- That lockwire jammed under my finger nail hardly hurt at all

- I totally penciled whipped that snag

- I love PVI's

- QA made my job easier and better

- It must be broken, a pilot said so

- I not only fixed the plane but shampooed the carpet and cleaned the windshield !

- CARs are so easy to interpret

- That new BCIT apprentice doesn't need any supervision, he knows everything.

- I smell bad, I better have a shower

"pilots get all the cutest chicks"

"I wish I was a pilot"

"I love pilots"

"and then the pilot said to me 'i made a mistake'"

"I love working on this bagged out piece of shit"

"no boss I would not like an annual tool budget"

"the hangar is clean enough"

I don't think you need to replace that part yet.

I love graveyards.

The money is too good.

It's not the pilot's fault.

Make sure you play with it over and over so I can fix it again.

That funny noise? Well, that definitely sounds like it's a faulty B system electric pump... what else could it be?

I'm working my way up to be a pilot.

I'm working my way up to be a flight attendant.

I'm working my way up to be an aeronautical engineer.

I can't believe how good these drawings are engineering came up with.

This mod won't need any redneck kit bashing that will be signed off by an engineer later on... no way.

I love Skydrol.

It's such an enjoyment dealing with transport canada and their inspectors. They always use common logic and make it easy for you.

[Heliian]

I give up.

[sidestick stirrer]

I have enough tools...

[hoptwoit]

Wow that pilot has a thorough understanding of the aircrafts _____________ system.!!!

It's a five minute job!!

[SeptRepair]

I will take the fat one.

[CpnCrunch]

I don't think you need to replace that part yet.

Actually, some will say that - it depends where you go. The smaller shops seem to be less likely to rip you off.

[Big Pistons Forever]

If we have the part sitting on the shelf then your airplane needs it !

Sure boss that healing shelf really works !

[boeingfixr]

My, this Lav motor is so nice to change!

[NeverBlue]

" I have no opinion on that"

"Why should I make as much as a doctor? I don't have 7 years of university."

"Why should I make as much as a Lawyer? I didn't pass the bar exam."

"Quality assurance and quality control are different right?"

[NeverBlue]

I will take the fat one.

...not true...and a little disrespectful...they all need luv'n too

[bombardierfixer]

I love this photocopier.

IT Rocks

No, I don't need it until next week, take your time!

That was cheap

[Xander]

"Oh yeah, sure! I got time for that!"

[Big Pistons Forever]

Well if I had actually read the maintenance manual instructions before I started the job I would not have totally screwed it up.

Gunwash feels so good on my skin

That skin on the tops of my knuckles just gets in the way of accessing the broken switch/control/actuator

I just love the way the aircraft designer anticipated the needs of the maintainer when laying out the systems.

British airplanes are so easy to work on. (this one is for MJ and MH)

[boeingfixr]

-4 engines on the 146 was an excellent idea Old Chap!
-Tri-wings are awesome!
-Dash-8 fuel panels rock!
-HS748 A-checks are the cleanest task ever!
-Changing this Kingair windscreen is a breeze!
-I certainly don't mind dumping this hangar in -40c so you can leak check your aircraft outside! Let me get right on it while you wait in the heated office!

"If I had known Transport Canada was coming, I'd have baked a cake"

"I believe you when you say that light was on before I got here"

"The radio's not dead, the volume's turned down. Don't worry that could happen to anyone; no judgement here"

"This aircraft does need a cup holder, and the audio selector panel was as good a place as anywhere to put your coffee while you squeezed into your seat"

[ruddersup?]

You didn't happen to have a hard landing did you?

[Meecka]

You didn't happen to have a hard landing did you?

K, that one I have asked.

[Greg87]

"That part I just installed came from stores, the tag says (overhauled, repaired, or, the dreaded "removed serviceable"), there's no way it failed on install"

"Don't worry Joe Apprentice, I'll take the heat for that mistake I made while working with you that made the job last twice as long as it should have"

[Shiny Side Up]

"It couldn't have been the pilot, he takes care of this plane."
