What is with the failures of material suppliers not shipping what is ordered?

Are they not inspecting it?

What is with the fabricators not inspecting incoming material, and not inspecting finished goods?

The reputation of aviation safety depends on the current group of manufacturers doing the right thing, and dismiss the MBA's that are a pit in the path of progress.

RR engines for the 787 family defifnitely need something far more than just a cursory inspection for the troubles are worrisome and numerous.

This could be the death of the T-1000.

Initially, Boeing wasn’t diverting engines from the production lines to airlines with aircraft on the ground (AOG), airlines complained to LNC. One airline contrasted Boeing’s action to Airbus, which directed Pratt & Whitney to divert new production Geared Turbo Fan engines to customers with AOG instead of to the production lines. A320neos litter the Toulouse (and probably Hamburg) airport with engineless A320neos.

I think Rolls-Royce is getting sloppy.

Manufactures will lie to sell their goods. Some more, some little, eventually some get the lies discovered.
Sometimes you get a small slap (ETOPS downgrade) sometimes a bigger one (see WV buy back of millions of 4 cylinder diesel-powered cars in USA).

Also, when I have the option, I always choose to fly the good ol' 747 in transatlantic flights (I do fly a lot of those, for work and personal).
I don't trust ETOPS based on "engine reliability numbers", I trust the ones based on sheer redundancy (number of engines).

Misleading headline.

What is it with 21st Century manufacturing? Has QC been completely eliminated? Just thinking of the cars & trucks we drive sure makes me wonder ...

As an inspector (pressure equipment and structural and some aviation type), you would be surprised how often companies and foreman say things are ready for QA inspection when there hasn't even been any QC inspection. They want stuff signed off in 30 minutes when nothing is ready.

This time the reason is given in the first sentence. Not soon enough?

Trent 1000 C engines is the Boeing's choice for 787-9s. Every 1 of 4 Dreamliner flies with faulty Trent 1000s. I don't see s.thing wrong with the headline.

Pax reporting SWA pilot said the engine explosion caused a loss of hydraulics to the flight controls.
