Conveniently leaving out that the more thorough check will be carried out when the aircraft arrives last flight of day thus giving more time to fix any defects prior to first flight next morning.
The more thorough check you refer to is called a daily inspection. Virgin recently extended that one to every 48 hours. They will now carry them out in capital cities on a daily basis (as a daily check should be) but are leaving the procedure at 48 hours so they can forgo the overnight check you refer to in other ports.
You could now see an aircraft terminate in CNS two nights in a row and not have a LAME walk around inspection for 48 hours.
Not to forget that the weekly inspection is now being moved to every 15 days.
However minor or major some of these changes are, as a stepped process of degradation, every change is reducing safety on these aircraft.
Hardly 'distentigrated' on this occassion the wheel hub didnt come apart until after it was removed , the aircraft taxied to the bay with a 'drag' noticed by the pilots, lets stick to the facts rather than your smear campaign
The official SDR report with CASA says -

If it didn't come apart until after it was removed, why was the aircraft difficult to steer and taxi. The wheel was found on an angle on the bay. Somehow I think we do know the facts.
