To continue that same thought, how does THE CREW accept a non-ETOPS aircraft for that flight?
Sounds like a cascade of stupid on that one.
Some poor ramp schmuck probably looked at another one and said, “Why are we loading Hawaii bags on a non-ETOPS?”, and was told by the ramp sup to get back to work.
That is a standard condition found when investigating accidents/incidents: one critical factor starts the cascade effect until the feces hit the rotating oscillator.
