If you are going to comment on a report at least read the report;
In interview with the ATSB, the captain did not recall seeing pitot probe covers. Based on the captain’s walk-around path, torch use (particularly dwell time on check items), and total time taken, the ATSB assessed the captain’s walk-around as having omitted many of the required check items and was conducted without due attention (see Flight crew pre-flight walk-around for the occurrence flight).
There is even a picture of him shining a torch on the pitot covers in question during the walk around, taken from security cameras.
Which is why the earlier comments that the captain should maybe undertake some eye tests.
And before the box in the cockpit is mentioned again, or some sort of checklist that the pilots missed, Malaysian doesn't carry pitot covers in the aircraft, the offending items were provided by a third party ground org.
