A friend of mine worked in a factory about 30 years ago where he did quality
control.  He mentioned that one of the widgets they made was used for
aircraft as well as autos.

 

I started ranting about how much aircraft approved parts cost compared to
identical auto parts.

 

He explained to me how much more quality control their airplane parts get,
that it's a small run and that they get separate packaging and a paperwork
trail.  OK, I guess I'm willing to pay somewhat more for the "identical"
aircraft part.

 

I understand even if I don't necessarily like it.
