We've all seen the result of Virgin adopting no preflight checks.

I seem to remember a wheel departing a taxying aircraft on a relatively new aircraft. Yep,these machines are highly self diagnostic, aren't they?

Perhaps if Virgin insisted on LAMEs at least meeting and walking around the aircraft, that flying wheel may have been avoided, but for the time being, Qantas will have that safety net.

But time is running out..........and the net is unraveling
