Delta is fourth major U.S. airline to find fake jet aircraft engine parts with forged airworthiness documents from U.K. company::With forged airworthiness documents from U.K. company
Put people in prison for this.
Yeah no I’m gonna go ahead and continue to be ok with building aircrafts and working with dangerous things being regulated 💀
I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. Overregulation is crazy, I was watching this interview by the CEO of this company that explores the ocean named Stockton Rush, and he has the same argument that the government needed to stop regulating so much. I should look him up, I’m not sure what happened to him…
Last I heard he’s been taking whole school field trips down the the Mariana Trench in his carbon-fiber super-submarine, isnt that cool!?
Could you also clean up this blood that has somehow written out a number of goofy rules I apparently have to follow?
All regulation is written in blood. If there was no regulation, everyone would be cutting corners and we’d get daily titan submersible-like situations.
Do you want a piece of suspension up your ass because a cab driver hit a road bump too hard?
Do you want your legs amputated? Because we can make bumpers go lower and more pointy to improve fuel efficiency.
If manufacturers could, they’d drop the catalytic converter and we’d be back to seeing/breathing cars spewing thick black smoke.
All that and they would still charge you the same as now.
I fail to see how someone can understand the aircraft parts industry enough to enter it and become a supplier, and at the same time believe you can get away with forging certifications.
You see parts every day. Maybe you make them. They come with a small stack of certs that you add to. You figure nobody will notice if you do a special process yourself and copy a cert. 500 parts or 501? Maybe 510? Maybe you buy material with no certs, but you verify the conductivity and hardness. You know it’s the right alloy, but it was cheaper. Who’s going to notice? Once you get started, where do you stop?
It’d be kind of amusing. You could just have a few people in on it and they make it work. Then one of the quality peeps notices some quantities are off. Maybe mix in some source/delegated source or pay off some FAA dfars.
This is not just the right wing. The engine on the left wing should also be checked.
Yea we should totally adopt the proven alternatives that are known to work so well and have much better civilian flights /s.
Man this entire country is corrupt from top to bottom.
Look on the bright side here. What we have is a case of parts with some forged documentation. It’s not like planes had bananas instead of spark plugs. We had a supplier forge some of the very rigorous documentation we require for plane parts. And they got caught. Later than we might have liked, but they weren’t found out because some plane crashed.
Honestly, if you accept that there will always be some bad actors out there, this looks a lot like a system that’s working.
The UK Government has stopped court cases investigating corruption, as was the case with a particular Saudi arms deal. There’s the never ending corruption around members of the royal family selling influence (and property at inflated prices) to foreign elements, particularly from the Arabian Gulf but also former Soviet states.
There’s the fact London has been the money laundering capital of the world for much of my life, this money has been used to influence politicians to turn a blind eye or even advocate for blatantly corrupt and abusive regimes.
Tony Blair, a former head of government, is the best example of such. He has spent (at least) the past decade “advising” criminal regimes around the globe on how to massage their images.
The UK is a pretty murky place to anyone who bothers to pay attention. The rule of law that they have established is for the sake of financial stability, to keep the charade going. It certainly isn’t for the benefit of the common man.

Had absolutely no idea about this. This is fascinating.
Petty corruption is pretty decently under control (you can’t bribe a police officer if they pull you over), but institutional corruption, politicians amd their buddies, that had a field day with COVID measures and is very much alive and kicking.
See this example of “legal” affairs that stink of corruption. A lot of land was force-bought to make way for a new high-speed line to be laid. Huge overruns later, the line has been chopped short, it will no longer run across certain tracts of land. So a tonne of land that was appropriated from citizens is now going to be sold off. I feel sure the price on those sales will be below market value and it will be sold to their buddies.
Or Nick Clegg, the former deputy Prime Minister who, when he left government, went into a veeery cushy job at Meta.
Fairly sure it’s just a top.
No one else has the money to be corrupt. Although if any of you want to sponsor me, I’m up for it.
Find out how this happened and put new safeguards in place to prevent it from happening in the future
