CAPT DEPARTED WITH NUMEROUS CABIN SAFETY ITEMS NOT PROPER.

Narrative

DURING THE MORNING PREFLT; BOTH FLT ATTENDANTS DISCOVERED DISCREPANCIES IN THE CABIN. THESE INCLUDED AN OXYGEN BOTTLE DEPLENISHED; EMER FLASHLIGHT SAFETY STRAPS BROKEN; AND PBE SAFETY SEALS MISSING. BOTH THE CAPT AND I WERE SHOWN THESE ITEMS; AND IT WAS CLR TO ME THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE EITHER FIXED; OR IF IT WAS POSSIBLE; DEFERRED FOR OUR RETURN FLT. THE CAPT TOOK THE LOGBOOK AND LEFT THE ACFT TO CALL MAINT. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE DISCREPANCIES; I THOUGHT THEY WERE MINOR AND COULD BE FIXED EASILY. ASSUMING THIS; I BEGAN MY PREFLT DUTIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST FLT OF THE DAY; SO I WAS VERY BUSY WITH ALL THE EXTRA PREFLT CHKS; AS WELL AS HELPING WITH SOME OF THE CAPT CHKS; SINCE HE HAD LEFT THE ACFT. THE CAPT RETURNED 5-10 MINS LATER AND SPOKE WITH THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT. HE SAID THAT HE HAD SPOKEN WITH MAINT; THAT THE ITEMS WOULD BE FIXED WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE HUB; AND THAT 'WE WERE GOOD TO GO.' HE ALSO MENTIONED DEFERRALS. I LISTENED TO THIS SHORT DISCUSSION; BUT WAS STILL BUSY IN THE COCKPIT; SO RETURNED MY ATTN TO MY DUTIES. THE CAPT DID NOT ASK ME TO HELP IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THE DISCREPANCY PROB; AND I DID NOT REFER TO THE MEL/CDL MANUAL OR REVIEW THE LOGBOOK WHEN HE RETURNED. I DID NOT QUESTION THE CAPT; NOR DID I FEEL THE NEED TO. I WAS SATISFIED WITH HIS DISCUSSION WITH THE FLT ATTENDANT THAT 'WE WERE GOOD TO GO.' IT WASN'T UNTIL WE ARRIVED BACK AT OUR HUB AND I BEGAN TO COMPLETE THE FLT LOG; THAT I NOTICED THAT ONLY ONE OF THE DISCREPANCIES THAT HAD BEEN WRITTEN UP; WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A CORRECTIVE ACTION; DEFERRING IT FOR OUR FLT. HAD I NOTICED THIS PRIOR TO DEP; I WOULD HAVE QUESTIONED THE CAPT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS SAID BTWN THE CAPT AND MAINT; AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS AT ALL. THE FLT WENT WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION ON THE TOPIC. OUR NORMAL SHOW TIME AT OUTSTATIONS IS 30 MINS PRIOR TO DEP; SO OFTEN THERE IS NOT EXTRA TIME FOR ME TO DOUBLECHK LOGBOOK ITEMS; OR REVIEW THE CAPT'S ENTRIES. IN ADDITION; THERE IS ALWAYS INCREDIBLE PRESSURE FROM STATION PERSONNEL/GATE AGENTS; AND THE COMPANY TO GET OUT ON TIME. ALTHOUGH I DON'T LET THIS PRECLUDE SAFETY OF FLT; IT OFTEN LEAVES ME ONLY THE TIME TO COMPLETE MY OWN TASKS BEFORE IT IS DEP TIME. IN THIS CASE; I TOOK THE CAPT'S WORD FOR IT; AND WE DEPARTED.
