Appears the parts have fake certifications for the manufacturing standards.
Lived in Seattle a few years. Left 7 years ago. Can say for a fact that part quality is an issue. Knew plenty of people that worked at Boeing. The “UN Project 787” isn’t something I want to fly on. Parts are made all around the world and many are trashed due to quality issues and manufactured locally in Washington, it’s a part of the economy. Somehow I see money laundering and fraud in all of it… buy parts that have to be trashed and manufacture again?
