Quote”In the past however, quality inspectors have alleged Boeing managers sometimes asked mechanics to fix defects but not record the repair work. This reduced the defect count, projecting a false sense of stability in the manufacturing work. In 2019, the Machinists union alleged this tactic was used to justify reducing the number of quality inspections.”
