A thing called Quality Control

I wonder as I read a Magazine about the amount of Air Craft parts that no longer meet standards. I remember in the Companies that I worked for that they talked the Government to quit Quality and just listen to the Technician as to whether it worked or not. The person worked directly for the Company so was expected to make short cuts and get it by the Government Quality Control or in few cases a Young Lt to live with what the company was given as the way it was supposed to work. I know they sold the Buyer of the parts on the basis that the Government or a Company say like Boeing as they had trouble with parts that were outsourced and they did not work or had to be redone.Just the Money that would be saved if they had Quality control Inspectors on the job and the parts were made to work especially since they do not want parts delivered until the day the parts are needed. I had some experience on some of these problems 50 years ago and as I read magazines that they are still having the same problems or even worse since this country is outsourcing parts to be manufactured either in this country or over seas. The Companies no longer have controll over the parts except in the final assembly or even then do not know about it as Boeing did on their 787's.Years ago I saw where Radar never worked and had to modified in the field. The other factor involved in quality control is the lack of knowled by the people either doing the Assembly or as public relations. It is too bad that people like myself were forced out of industry or were replaced by younger people such as our High School grads that come out with 4th or 5th grade education. I have griped enough so will quit. It is too bad that people do not read what I written and maybe do some research to see if I am not telling the truth.
