A New York-bound Virgin Atlantic flight was canceled just moments before takeoff last week when an alarmed passenger said he spotted several screws missing from the plane’s wing.

    I’d have been grateful.

    I think it’s entirely reasonable to see something obviously missing on the wing of a plane, even something small, and wonder what else isn’t properly secured. I’m sure a plane with four missing allen head screws on that panel is fine. I wouldn’t fly on it without an assurance that it wasn’t a sign of other poor practices.
