Onur Air / the case facts

Dear Sirs,

The captain ,who made this decision has 11300 hours ttl.The skipper flew B737 all series B747-400 and A321 ( including 2500 hrs on Airbus ).The a7c was given to the crew with APU in the hold item.The hold items inthis company are always full ,they use full extensions and after the extension time they swapp the the parts between aircrafts.They are not interseted to order parts.The pilots are forced to enter mailfunctions only on the return flight to the base,so that they can right ,SYSTEM TESTED CHECKED FOUND NORMAL,this words you can find every where on their TLB`s.
Fact is this aircaft was started with external power and air sources.ENG 2 was started first after the connections where taken away during crossbleed start ENG 2 stalled and came to stop.Since the aircraft does not have an APU back up everything became dark.NO ECAM INDICATIONS AVAILABLE.
GPU was connected again and technical staff started to run an FADEC test.
Then they started ENG 2 again and released the aircraft for flight.Mean while
