After the flight, I was called to the flight deck to chat with the flightdeck crew. They had selected flaps after engine 1 start but they had not deployed until much later- something I had not seen before. The crew duly thanked me and said they would inform maintenance immediately.
I didn't fancy a short flight on a full A320 ISA+15 with no flaps/slats selected for take off!!
Hmmm
Whilst I'm not against SLF questioning genuine problems such as a collision, you can rest assured that regardless of the temperature there were plenty of things in place to catch this error.
On the other hand, if an slf had spotted no slats and flaps on the Spanair flight at Madrid, a lot of lives would have been saved.
