£88 repair?

[RonMac]

Here is one to ponder....

Started Schaefells 737-800 from cold and dark, having loaded passengers etc.

Left engine started fine, but at about 55% power spool up on right engine it started to cough and splutter like I used to do in the morning
when I puffed 40 a day. (Now stopped)

Tried a few starts, everything showing normal except right engine.

However, on company manager I noticed a repair was needed, no details, but it would cost £88.

Off loaded passenegrs, spent £88, reloaded aircraft and engine started fine.

So, what costs £88 to fix a 737 Jet engine! My Honda costs that to repair anything!(g)

Any ideas?

What are they called? I know they've got books of them out! They're a little more specific though. They list wheter you should choose an
adjective, noun, etc.

They're called Mad Libs. My brother and I used to have fits of laughter doing those. I wonder if they still sell them?

Yeah they do, I just did one in school a couple days ago lol.

Indeed,

Once again I am astounded by the wisdom and very relevant replies to my serious question(????)

I think it was the elastic band. Expensive at £88 though!

I think it was the dead duck stuck in the fan blades that had to be extracted.

[SWAFO]

Mad libs!!! That's IT!!!

I got it!

Maybe it's the X-mas tree from the drunk neighbour, which is easily found in the nearby bar of the edge of the woods.

PS, hope this helps your problem of what cost 88 quids!
