Being a line maintenace engineer I personally agree that the drivers should write defects down in the log book. As engineers, we can look into them and either rectify the fault or make an entry to report further or clear the defect if we find nil defects. Thats what we are here for. BUT PLEASE keep the silly entrys out of the log books because you only get a name for yourself for wasting time. {Or we think your trying to impress the J F/O!}
And also while im here, we are humans as well so when we walk on the flight decks, talk to us like we know what an aircraft is! This is only for a few of you. We remember you being a great crew and will go out of our way to help you more.
Safe flying guys
