You're setting up a straw man argument either deliberately, through ignorance or trolling.
1) How many B767 and (20+ years) B734 does Virgin operate, these aircraft require a higher level of maintenance then "newer" aircraft.
2) Do you put oil in your cars engine EVERY time you check it, or would you say that you check your cars oil level "just in case" ? Is doing the pre-flight on an aircraft that turns out to be perfectly serviceable not unlike checking your cars oil level when it too turns out to be OK ?
3) Have you ever found a defect during a preflight ?
