I’m very sorry to hear that aircraft today may not be flown until they are right. Sounds like a bad company culture at work. The test pilots carrying out production flights are the final quality control function and not to allow them to continue until they are happy represents a very slippery slope so far as I am concerned. Sure 20 years ago the local prod manager would rant and rave to my face and worse behind my back but he never got his way, because if he did we would all soon be out of a job. Aeroplanes that have a good in-service reputation sell better and crash less often. But you don’t need me to tell you that.

Regards
John
