Narrative:

I arrived at the plane early and went down to put my things away. I proceeded to preflight the equipment in case I was asked to be the B flight attendant. I preflted all the equipment and found nothing out of order. I am fairly new and I like to carefully check everything. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Supplemental information from acn 754994: B flight attendant did a complete preflight of all the equipment. I was the C position and setting up my cart and galley and observed the B flight attendant doing a preflight. I was notified via email about a week later that the oxygen hoses were not attached and both of the ELT's were in the standby or off position and not turned on. Aircraft was brand new and just towed from the hangar. This was its maiden flight.
