A B757-200 ACFT FLIGHT CREW LEFT WITH OPEN ITEMS IN THE LOG BOOK.

Narrative

LEFT WITH OPEN ITEMS IN LOGBOOK. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: REPORTER STATED THAT HE AND THE FO WERE THE OUTBOUND CREW AND COMPANY MAINT PERSONNEL WERE AVAILABLE AT THAT STATION. THE CHAIN OF EVENTS STARTED WHEN THE INBOUND CREW MADE THE LOG WRITE-UPS; BUT COVERED THE INBOUND FLIGHT PAGE AND THOSE WRITE-UPS WITH THE CARDBOARD USED TO PROTECT THE FOLLOWING FLIGHT PAGE FROM CARBON BLEED-THROUGH WHEN MAKING LOG REPORTS. WHY THE CARDBOARD WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE INBOUND FLIGHT PAGE; NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE THAT ANSWER. HOWEVER; WHEN THE INBOUND FLT CREW ORIGINALLY PICKED UP THEIR FLIGHT; THEIR LOGBOOK WAS CLEAN. REPORTER ALSO STATED WHAT COMPOUNDED THE SITUATION WAS THE FAILURE OF THE INBOUND CREW TO ENTER THE MAINT CODE DISCREPANCIES FOR THOSE LOG WRITE-UPS VIA THEIR ONBOARD REPORTING SYSTEM. AS A RESULT; MAINT HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY OPEN DISCREPANCIES. REPORTER ADDS HE NOTICED THE OPEN ITEMS WHEN HE REMOVED THE CARDBOARD TO MAKE A WRITE-UP BECAUSE HE JUST HAD A PACK TRIP AFTER DEPARTURE. HIS COMPANY HAS JUST REEMPHASIZED THE REQUIREMENT THAT FLIGHT CREWS ARE TO CALL MAINT UPON ARRIVAL EVEN THOUGH LOG WRITE-UPS WERE CODED AND SENT VIA THEIR ONBOARD REPORTING SYSTEM.
