Loggie Loader
In answer to your comment No the VASF see off crew do not do a FINAL walk round after unplugging. the GE does a walkround as part of the Turnround, as does the Air engineer, the GE then will do a final walkround before the doors are closed and steps removed, once the engines are started and the Ground Crew cleared off intercom he is expected to appear off to the right/left as instructed so the jet can get going, would you walk round the back of a running RB211?
The main thing from the last incident is honesty! the bloke hit the jet and walked away denying it
Asked if he was "regretfull" about what he had done the answer was, "thats what i said in my statement!"
