4 bolts. Probably not a big deal. But now that Boeing got a bad rap, they’re being cautious.

I don’t really care how his associate reacted, but I would like to know what his wife (or girlfriend) thought about this.

Airbus, the maker of the aircraft, assures us that with 119 fasteners on each wing, the missing 4 bolts weren't going to put anyone in danger or disrupt the flight. Well, it was 115 of 119 there. Wonder how many go missing before it does become a problem? This could be turned into a commercial: "Fly Virgin - almost all the bolts every time!"

If they’re being put in with a screwdriver, I suspect that’s how they got lost in the first place. There certainly is no control over how tight they are.
It seems like we are headed for a Star Trek time loop and engines are going to start falling off of wings on airplanes.

Here's video of the engineer on the wing with a screwdriver putting the bolts in properly.How, exactly, does the author KNOW for CERTAIN that the engineer is doing it properly?

14000 screws on a wing, so what if a few came out.
I remember seeing a couple missing once and didn’t give it another thought.

That’s what airplanes are, city taxi cabs in the air.

If she makes me get on a plane, when we get back I get to buy the single malt of my choice. And no complaints will be heard.

The 119 [mentioned in the article] flathead machine screws [aka “the fasteners”], are for a panel situated on the top surface of the Airbus A330-300 wing.
