Most guys pay special attention to the items that have killed people.

The covers were missed on the walk around, the lack of airspeed indication was missed on initial acceleration, the airspeed check either didn't occur or the lack of airspeed was ignored(both are hard to believe).

It also means that the pilots either didn't look at their airspeed indicators for the entire takeoff roll or for some unbelievable reason ignored the lack of airspeed indications.

Missing, or ignoring the actions I described, is unacceptable behavior among professionals. Please stay a student pilot as the rest of us are are trying to even after decades in the business.
