Dead Whistleblower’s claims were pretty shocking. Production managers and workers kept raiding the scrap bins for parts they needed, so he installed a locked cage. People kept getting in, so he changed the lock, so corporate had 200 copies of the key made and distributed.

What’s the likelihood the garbage parts were carefully labelled and the reason for them failing QA was documented and accessible? Literally anything could be wrong with the part, it’s in a scrap bin, from the looks of it. Will it fail immediately, or at 60% of its life expectancy? Who knows!
Unconscionable, putting parts on a plane like that.
