This is exactly what happened - The outbound crew did not notice during their pre-flight checks that the liferafts, survival packs and ETOPS safety cards were not in place. It was only when the aircraft had already landed in JFK after operating an ETOPS certified route, when the Inbound operating Cabin Crew realised during their checks the items were missing. The aircraft then operated a non ETOPS certified route back to U.K. ooops!!
What about insurance validity re, liabilities etc. rgarding non-conformity???
This is getting beyond the joke and if factually confirmed something needs to be done about these muppets
- I do hope the regulatory authorities are really putting this lot under the microscope.
