> The Vanity Fair article made the case it wasn’t being done by FAA licensed mechanics; it didn’t make the case that it wasn’t done to FAA standards. Actually it did. It points out that it's near impossible for the FAA to make inspections in these countries to ensure that the work meets its standards. For example, unlike here - it's impossible for them to conduct surprise inspections. Regardless, there IS reasonable doubt. There is a high chance that work done in developing nations does not meet FAA standards.
