Given the lack of detail regarding the alleged violations, I’m underwhelmed by this FAA press release. For a large, complex organization such as Boeing to pass an audit with no discrepancies or violations would make me doubt the integrity of the audit. How would Airbus’s U.S. production facility perform under a similar audit?
