It hadn't been mandatory to do head counts on aircraft parked on an airbridge stands as ground staff have accounted for all passengers going through the gate.
FR did a head count when we came back from Easter...They noted a passenger was missing, but other pax explained he/she was not coming on board.
Again - I am sure Jet2 do head counts, no matter the mode of boarding..

Just because he went through a check, that does not mean the kid could NOT be a threat.
we don't need to talk explosives, we only need to talk small that could cause panic on an a/c.
Anyway -- Can we trust any mode of security that lets a child unchallenged board and aircraft with no passport or boarding card..
That is not foolproof security..Also jet2 don't allow children to fly alone..The mind boggles and I am flying from MAN with Jet2 on Monday.
The security at the airport must have been flawed. and how did he get on the aircraft with no boarding card?. safer to walk, methinks.
