Exactly right Syntax. However I had forgotten how different BA can be! But then it is 25 years since I flew for them. It is standard operating Airbus procedure.

Of course if the Captain did the walk around in this case then he should indeed have checked the cowls. Of course the Engineer signing the aircraft off should have secured them but then it is normal for the pilot to check and the engineers don't get offended, unlike some on this thread!
