Certain companies Fleet Captains are in the habit of treating such 'reports' from SLF as if they were the learned observations of aviation experts.
This credulous behaviour then manifests itself in ridiculous phone calls to your home on your day off asking to 'please explain that bump that happened three months ago on flight xyz'.

Perhaps these gullible Fleet Captains should realise that these 'reports' are to be treated with the contempt they deserve and not bother their crews with such nonsense.

The only answer to such enquiries is...I don't remember...the aircraft was not bent or broken...perhaps some turbulence...what would you like me to say?

Oh yes I forgot to tell you about that middair collision I had?

On every flight there are white-knuckle flyers, and to them every bump, jolt, fart or vibration the aircraft makes is a sure indication it is/was about to crash and burn.

Ignore the troublesome MF'ers for crissake, or invent a standard letter to humour them. Use your imagination, but don't waste our goddamn time.
