OK, so Vanity Fair has published this article on what appears to be a disturbing trend in airline maintenance, stating "In the last decade, most of the big U.S. airlines have shifted major maintenance work to places like El Salvador, Mexico, and China, where few mechanics are F.A.A. certified and inspections have no teeth."
It cites several examples of airplane incidents traced back to shoddy work done abroad. Several of my friends and relatives have upped their dosage of tranquilizers.
Can anyone here provide some context, perspective, rebuttal, etc. to calm the flying public's nerves about this?
