Default If you're a mechanic you can relate to this

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

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.
