Engineers leaving switches in the wrong positions??
So what is the checklist for??
Donīt imply whats not there. I hate to find CBs pulled etc. Even if I use my CL to get going, Iīd rather have everything set as it should be.

Lolly sticks left in the squat switches, a proper preflight inspection would have picked this up.
Mhhh, yeah, maybe. But then, we donīt know what the ciruimstances were (time constraints etc.) when they piked up the airplane. And how big were these things ?

They paid bitterly for their mistake/apperently not to good walkaround. But lets be honest, these things can happen...

A very experienced pilot once told me: the airplane is only dangerous at 2 times: when it goes to maintenance and when it comes out of it... I try to make the best from this advise.
