After each flight, Qantas pilots fill out a special form, called a complaint sheet, in which they describe faults that occurred during the flight and need to be rectified. Engineers read the complaint sheet and rectify the problems, then write at the bottom of the sheet what measures have been taken so that the pilot can be informed before the next flight.
Below are a few actual complaints from Qantas pilots and the corresponding engineer's reports of action taken. It is worth noting that Qantas is the only airline amongst many which has not yet had a single crash.
