ACR WDB CREW FAILS TO OBTAIN PDC OR ANY CLRNC PRIOR TO DEP.

Narrative

FLC RPTED TO ACFT 30 MINS PRIOR TO SCHEDULED TKOF. PAX ENGAGED CREW IN 5 MIN CONVERSATION IN THE COCKPIT UPON ARR. INTERACTION TOOK PLACE BTWN CREW AND CUSTOMER SVC AGENT ADVISING SHORT DELAY FOR MORE MEALS; JUMPSEAT RIDER WHO REQUIRED ORIENTATION BRIEFING; LEAD FLT ATTENDANT WHO REQUIRED BRIEFING; A PAX COMPLAINT THAT WAS RELAYED BY ANOTHER FLT ATTENDANT AND RESOLVED IN THE COCKPIT; AND MAINT; WHO CAME TO THE COCKPIT TO RESOLVE AN APU PROB. CHKLISTS WERE COMPLIED WITH. AT 5 MINS PAST SCHEDULED DEP (A PA ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE FROM THE COCKPIT AT PUSHBACK TIME ADVISING THE DELAY) THE CUSTOMER SVC AGENT DELIVERED FINAL PAPERWORK AND DEPARTED WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 15 MINS ELAPSED BTWN PUSHBACK AND TKOF; WHICH IS NOT MUCH IN THE L-1011. ALL CHKLISTS WERE COMPLIED WITH. CLRNC FROM GND TO TAXI AND TWR TO TKOF WERE RECEIVED. AFTER TWR DIRECTED FLT TO SWITCH TO DEP CTL; FO NOTICED HE DID NOT HAVE THE FREQ SET. HE VERIFIED FREQ WITH TWR FOR DEP; THEN VERIFIED SQUAWK WITH DEP CTL. THEY ISSUED A CLB CLRNC TO 16000 FT ON OUR CHK-IN. SO CONTACTED CLRNC DELIVERY AT SLC TO VERIFY ROUTING. ALL THIS TOOK PLACE IN SLC TWR AIRSPACE. FLT CONTINUED UNEVENTFULLY TO DEST. FACTORS: MULTIPLE DISTRS PRIOR TO ACFT PUSHBACK. FO FLYING FIFTH ROTATION AFTER BEING DISPLACED AS CAPT FROM DIFFERENT ACFT TYPE. PDC SYS DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED. FO COLLECTED AVAILABLE PAPERWORK 25 MINS PRIOR TO SCHEDULED DEP. PDC NOT AMONG PAPERS. NORMALLY; WHEN THIS OCCURS; THE AGENT BRINGS THE PDC WITH THE FINAL PAPERWORK JUST PRIOR TO PUSHBACK. CHKLIST DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY CALL FOR REVIEW OF PDC OR CLRNC. GND CTL OR TWR DID NOT QUESTION WHETHER CLRNC HAD BEEN RECEIVED OR NOT; SO I ASSUME THEY HAD A STRIP. PAPERWORK FOR FLT WAS DISCARDED PRIOR TO CREW KNOWING A PROB EXISTED. IT IS NOT KNOWN IF PDC WAS NOT NOTICED AMONG THE PAPERWORK.
