So the FAA issued a notification over fake engine parts recently in the news. Now, most of the airlines, including American airlines, joined other carriers in removing the parts from service due to false safety documents for the parts fitted to the engines. Now, the engines that had the unapproved parts were the CFM 56, which is one of the best selling aircraft engines in modern jet aviation history.

Hey, Eric, thanks so much for this. Okay, so now I understand what they are, the Bushings. But are they inferior? And is that what the issue is? Because we know third party creates stuff that is inferior. So are you implying that they're trying to reverse the supply chain and make sure people don't use these parts because they are inferior? Or are they accepting them? Because I didn't read the whole article
