last min check
14g's
point taken on the RB211, however, it was the point the marshaller had the "last look" as the a/c left the pan....
as an ex mover, i always did my checks ie... check all freight doors were closed, this then would be cross checked by the ALM and also by the flight deck ensuring all lights were out...
even so, as all trades are involved indirectly with a/c ops, it falls to everyone to show some concern when something "appears not right"
anyone remember the flight safety film with RAFP picking mushrooms....??
or what about Richard O'Sullivan pretending to be a Harrier pilot and forgeting to stow his seat pins i think the story was...
rgds...
