Virgin have reported to the press that they have completed their B737 inspections..
If that report is correct, they have achieved it with little fanfare, without stress and without denigrating the Engineering world, or the leadership of its Engineering Union.
As I understand Virgin have inspected 19 of their aircraft in a fleet of about 85. So they have done the same high cycle inspections that Qantas have done. Yet the call was not to ground THEIR fleet, so that’s probably why there was less stress and name calling.
I support the call to inspect all the aircraft in an expedited manner but the usual PPrune suspects singling out Qantas and ignoring the other carrier in the country reads like the usual one-eyed whinge fest.
