I'm sure there will be talks to be more careful. However i just don't see where the GA screwed up. If a duplicate wasn't a common occurrence, sure I'd place more blame on them. However duplicates are far from uncommon.
Also mainline FA don't do head counts before closing door. Only the regionals do a headcount anymore.
The biggest fault I see, passenger was allowed to be in lav during pushback/taxi. The lavatory should've been checked prior to pushback.
