As usual, people with no idea shooting their mouth off about things they know F*@k all about. Creates a lot of doubt over the ALAEA's professionalism.
The ALAEA never shoots without doing our homework.
Before any release yesterday we had read log entries and obtained photos of the wheel that had fallen apart on landing. Changes to Virgin procedures are extending the length between checks as supported by General Engineering Memo No 219.
Our research is thorough and nothing said is incorrect. We look forward to a legal challenge from the airline, it will give us the opportunity to present Virgin's own internal documents in a court room to support anything we have said.
Feel free to post any matter you wish that may indicate that something we have said is wrong and a response will be posted promptly. Or forever hold your peace.
