[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 537195, member: 12508"] China is getting there very quickly in terms of quality control. I have no doubt that the parts you're getting are of excellent quality. But there are plenty of marginal operators out there, and the Chinese government looks the other way...for now. A lot of their products are absolutely excellent. My point was that they need to be careful about more complex parts like those on an aircraft. I'm sure there are companies there that go by the book and could make quality components with some US oversight. Many critical smaller aircraft parts are produced by small companies in this country, but they have the specialized knowledge, equipment, and experience to do it right. Aircraft maintenance is a similar issue. Where is the experienced workforce in China that can do the work? They are still in-training, and setting-up shop there is a two-edged sword. Yes, it will save money, and also help build the Chinese aircraft repair industry infrastructure. But it will out-source high-wage US jobs as well, and union aircraft mechanics do know how to do it correctly already. No more Ken and Barbie comments. The Chinese do a good job at making them too.
