I do realise I should have informed the cabin crew. My bad! Can't comment on why I didn't mention it to the cabin crew. I regret I didn't!
Don't take this the wrong way but I thought it was the cabin crew's responsibility to make sure all safety equipment were in order.
However, this did not occur three months ago. It actually occured a couple of weeks ago.
We were running late and they had also been informed they needed to depart because otherwise the flight would have been delayed by an additional 45 minutes as the runway (s) were to be closed down for three fourths. The cabin crew also seemed to be rather busy as it was a full load and the aircraft had arrived late into BOM.
