The FAA is not the only body in the world that pays attention to aircraft maintenance. Do you honestly think that airlines paying upwards of $500k for a maintenance check on a >$30 million asset that can do even more financial damage to their reputation have fewer resources and less interest in maintaining standards than the company that sells you a $500 phone which you'll probably trade in after 2-3 years.
