Let's keep one thing in mind. Much of the reason for outsourcing for Boeing
is to make foreign governments happy when it comes time to buy the plane.


Yup. That's the overwhelming reason. It works almost as well as a bribe, and
it's legal. Unfortunately, it produces an inferior product.



Why?

Because the places where things are made are being chosen to please potential
customers rather than as a function of technical competence and excellence.
You end up with substandard components from some Third-World dump in exchange
for a few extra contracts. You sell more planes, but they are less safe.

Have you any evidence to support the contention Boeng has compromised
safety by outsourcing?

No, but given the extremely poor record of outsourcing for political ends, I
fear the evidence may not be long in coming.

So once again you make statements with no factual support. I wonder,
do you on purpose do that? It seems unlikely your error or mistatement
rate is so high rate is as high as it is by chance.
