The last airline I flew with before retirement encouraged cabin crew to bring matters of concern regarding the aircraft to the pilots - typical example would be traces of ice on the top surface of the wings on a turn-round. Good move in my opinion.

The fact that they cancelled a flight due pax observation is concerning.
If it’s worth cancelling the flight for, I hope we can agree we don’t want to rely on PAX to identify it. |
When new cabin crew would come for a flight deck visit I would stress that if they noticed anything unusual they should report it. It would most likely turn out to be unimportant but once in a while it would be something we would really like to know. We would much rather it was reported than not.
Usual offenders were squeaky door seals (would disappear as we climbed) and buzzing lights. Although there is a story that a cabin crew member once reported the wings being different colours from each other after anti-icing fluid applied….. |

Why do they have fasteners if not an essential item? and the safety issue would be pretty serious if the panel detached in flight and fell on someone's head.
