Narrative

AFTER TKOF; DURING INITIAL CLB; FLT ATTENDANT #1 NOTIFIED ME THAT THE 1L DOOR LIGHT INDICATOR HAD SENT A SIGNAL TO THE COCKPIT THAT THE DOOR WAS DISARMED AND 'OPEN.' THIS HAD PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED AT THE 1R DOORWAY ON THE INBOUND FLT MIA-SJU ON THE SAME ACFT; BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF IN THE COCKPIT. UPON LNDG BACK IN SJU; MECHS CHKED THE DOOR 1L AS WELL AS 1R AND FOUND THAT NEITHER WAS SHUT 'COMPLETELY;' EVEN THOUGH ALL INDICATORS SAID OTHERWISE. WE (FLT ATTENDANTS) WERE TOLD THAT SOMETIMES THIS CAN HAPPEN; AND WHEN THE CABIN PRESSURIZES; THE INDICATOR LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT GO OFF; EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS ARMED. THE BIGGEST CONCERN THE FLT ATTENDANTS HAD WAS THAT THIS PROB WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE COCKPIT ON THE INBOUND LEG OF THE FLT; BUT IGNORED BY THE COCKPIT CREW; SAYING THEY HAD 'SPOKEN TO THE MAINT CTR AND THEY SAID IT'S OK.' THIS SEEMS TO BE POOR COM; ONCE AGAIN; BTWN FLT ATTENDANTS AND PLTS. WE ARE STILL THE EYES AND EARS IN THE CABIN. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTS STATED THAT THEY HAD THE SAME COCKPIT CREW COMING DOWN FROM MIA TO SJU AS THEY DID GOING BACK. ON THE FIRST SEGMENT; THE DOOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DOOR ONLY; AND NOT IN THE COCKPIT. THAT'S WHEN THE CABIN ATTENDANT CALLED THE PLTS; THEY IN; TURN CALLED THEIR MAINT HEADQUARTERS FOR ADVICE; AND WERE BASICALLY TOLD TO IGNORE IT. THE PLTS DID NOT BOTHER TO LOG IT AND TOLD THE CABIN CREW TO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. THEY TOOK OFF FROM SJU TO COME BACK TO MIA; WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE COCKPIT; SHOWING THAT BOTH DOORS 1L AND 1R HAD THE PRESSURE LIGHTS ON. THE CAPT TOLD THE CABIN CREW TO NOT SIT NEAR THESE 2 DOORS AND TO MOVE THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THEM ALSO. THEY RETURNED TO SJU AND WHILE MAINT WAS CHKING IT OUT; THE CAPT WENT 'ILLEGAL;' SO THEY HAD A 2 1/2 HR DELAY; UNTIL THEY COULD GET A NEW CAPT.
