old_mate Member 767 Member For: 18y 11m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 28/09/12 11:41 AM Share Posted 28/09/12 11:41 AM (edited) Bought a steering rack for my old EL and bolted it in. Turns out it was EB rack and was all f*cked up. Still drove it down the road for a wheelo and the dudes just laughed at me. Took said rack back to wreckers and called him a *beep*. Supplied a full reco EL one for no additional charge.<br /><br />Caused big engine bay fire putting battery in wrong way and hitting the starter on my old datto. (Was drunk). Did the same thing the next day with the spare shell I had (was moving it into shed to strip loom as a replacement that I had just borked). Wasn't drunk. <br /><br />Once at Qantas as an apprentice my safety vest got caught up in the circuit breaker panel behind the captains seat of a 737 300. Thought I reset them all but plane returned to gate just prior to depature. Offload all pax, organise another airframe, defuel plane and tow to run bay. Start functional checks, find breaker popped for no reason, reset it run the engines and no problem. Funny that haha. Would have cost near on 30k I reckon. <br /><br />Fessed up to boss as soon as plane returned to bay and he was really good about it.<br /> Edited 28/09/12 11:48 AM by old_mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghey.I have heaps of dumb stories from Qantas hey. From people driving stairs into airframes to leaving tools and sh*t in engines, to one of my mates writing off a qantas ute drifting around the service road between sydney international and domestic airports. Took out the fence than seperates the airport from Qantas drive. Was not licensed to drive - had his learners in the outside world and definately was not licensed by Sydney Airport Corporation. AFP got involved, he got off due to his father being very high up in Qantas Engineering. Edited 28/09/12 11:59 AM by old_mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I screwed the adjuster in too far on the sensor when I replaced it so the brakes were on all the time, bout 1/5 of the way pushed in ...... idiot.
