Enshitification continues. For awhile there I thought aviation was the safest industry, due to standards.

Clearly there are no standards anymore and it’s just another industry that’s rotting away thanks to greed and a severe lack of empathy.

I guess I’ll start reconsidering commercial flying.

This is a sign that there are extremely right safety standards and lots of oversight. The amount of documentation needed for all aerospace parts means it is quite difficult to falsify records for long without getting caught. The fact that any of these types of event are big news and often result in arrests should help you be confident that the standards are real and enforced. There will always be bad actors, and finding them like this is part of reality. Just look at the safety record of commercial aviation to see proof that the system is working.

I mean, did everyone suddenly forgot about everything that happened with the 737 Max?

Both the FAA and Boeing should be ashamed.

Plane doesn't work? Eh software will fix it. Software is always rock solid

Finished parts are much harder to verify without damaging them or the finish. We do get training on identifying counterfeits, though.

Planes are still highly over-engineered.

I assume with the strict documentation on parts being put on planes they will have to replace or review any part that came from this distributor?

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Not sure. Prolly depends on their investigation. If it's one guy covering his ass that's different than a manager pushing it as a normal thing. Anything fabricated had to be bought-off/stamped by someone, so they should be able to sort it out.

Well, the standards are still there, but if people don't adhere to them, profits happen, so they gladly take some ... mishaps into their calculation.

So the company selling bogus aircraft parts is called AOG (Aircraft on Ground)?

what do they call a med student who graduates bottom of their class?

a doctor.

Not only that, but you can't really fire doctors unless they do something really, ridiculously bad.

And if we're going to get really cynical, with corporate medicine, there's something of an incentive to keep around bad doctors -- they create more demand.

What do you call a pilot who lies about their experience and keeps failing remedial training?

Dead in a swamp near Houston (Atlas Air Flight 3591).
