It’s hard not to think this is just the FAA trying to protect Boeing again by making it look like Airbus is equally bad.

FAA should just be rehoused under department of commerce where the job is actually to promote and protect American business interests.

At least then we can admit we have no regulatory oversight of aviation safety. Let’s be honest as a country for once.

The false provenance was discovered by an Italian company, and then Spirit did their own investigation and found they had titanium from the same supplier with the same issue of false provenance. Spirit notified both Boeing and Airbus. Spirit produces parts for both Boeing and Airbus. This isn't about the FAA helping Boeing cover their asses, this is a real issue that impacts both Boeing and Airbus since the titanium ended up in planes from both companies.
