Here is a scenario. Early flight first leg everything is ok. Then the second leg:
1) RAT fault on taxi out or just before T/O.
2) Returned to ramp, problem fixed, book is signed off and was acccepted by the flight crew.
3) Needed more fuel and decided everything was ok, taxied out.
4) Tired and in a rush, ran through a checklist and checked everything ok.
4) Lined up for T/O applied T/O power and then at VR the bird does not fly!!
Many conclusions from this forum, up to the investigative panel, judge, the company and indeed all of us. Blame everybody except...... Hmmm this swiss cheese or manchego, cheese lined up in a very subtle manner and everyone involved failed to see it? I would like to see how much of this report/ investigation is influenced by the liabilty and responsability involved ( ie Spanair).
