With that qualification, I agree. I have dealt directly with some of those shady characters. My favorite one was the guy who, on being confronted with the query that I've heard the company he is representing went out of business a few weeks earlier under somewhat suspect circumstances, did not even blink just pulled another business card from his pocket while attempting to pull the one already in front of me on the table...
That being said, I think we can all agree that if ILFC supervised that repair and it was done at Toulouse, it is likely to have been up to the proper standards. In any case, short of a RPB rupture which clearly was not the case here, a fatigue crack of the skin or one of the frames due to damage / improper repair decades earlier is very unlikely to cause an instant disintegration as we saw here. The Aloha cabrio could even land in one piece.
