So for anyone who is actually a pilot the message from the report is that the walkround should be conducted with your eyes open and actually look at the important items on the outside of the aircraft as per the FCOM. As for the issue of continuing the takeoff with no airspeed indication well all the bells and whistles are not going to stop that happening if the crew are merely passengers. Hardly an Airbus problem if an equivalent Boeing product can be taken into the air and flown at 75' over downtown Dubai!
Also WTF CARES if its an AOC or an Ops Spec that a foreign carrier operates under into Australia!
