Aren’t these companies supposed to audit their suppliers? As in visit the facility and examine paperwork and procedures?
That job was outsourced to another supplier.
Work from home means you just call them up and ask softball questions.
(I had a roommate once who was on parole, and once a month his parole officer would phone him and ask if he was still off of drugs…)
You clearly haven’t taken part in many audits or dealt with auditors. They love physical paperwork. No way in hell would any of them settle for asking questions over the phone.
I can attest that, sometimes, auditors literally phone it in. Some do not check, they ask you if you think you pass. One asked us to video, at our discretion, our workspace so they could see if it looked fine.
Yes, there are auditors that will demand to actually audit, and maybe even those slackers decide to audit for real enough to show actually finding violations, but there’s a lot of room to slack for auditors.

Even during the pandemic, this type of job was never done from home. I don’t know if you were just being sarcastic. If so, please disregard.
So the parts and employees were fake. What else was fake? Maybe their HQ doesn’t even exist, all generated with AI or CAD. It may be a Harry Potter moment when inspectors go looking for 123 Brook Street, but only finding buildings at 122 and 124.
Dot-com scams with fake sock puppets or whatnot is one thing, but airline parts? That’s scary: “This is your Captain speaking, we detected a fuel leak so I’d like you to exit the plane in a quick but orderly fashion. However, it appears the emergency exit doors are merely painted on.”
Initially thought those first three names were the names of the people that done it. A lot of people just read the first few words and jump to a conclusion.
I mean, come on, at least take the time to blend two stock photos together so you have a unique image. Geeze, the laziness of fraudsters these days….
It looks like I picked a good day to give up flying.
Consider it my part of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Note, I won’t be cruising on the Icon of the Seas either.

Looks like I picked the wrong week give up flying.

It’s unclear from the headline if the parts themselves were bad or simply missing their paperwork

It appears the documentation (Authorised Release Certificates) were falsified. Non-paywalled article here. [slashdot.org]
The company was fake and along with the parts. I mean possibly the parts could be authentic but without a paper trail it’s impossible to tell. Usually a part will have traceability from the raw material and through every manufacturing process.
Airline parts are worthless without paperwork. There’s no such thing as a mystery part that’s “simply missing [its] paperwork.” If it was a good part it would have had its paperwork. These parts are only made for the aircraft. The part failed spec, was not made as part of a regular production process, was stolen or was reused without documentation.
Yes there are rare parts that are repurposed from other sources (e.g. Tampax tampons are used as filters in Piper aircraft) but that’s not what’s going on here. N
Cultural appropriation, I say. Flog him across every university campus in the rightful lands of every Native American!
Looks like all the employees on LI use stock photos:
Gee, it’s a real shame that LinkedIn doesn’t have the resources of a true software giant, who could dispatch a couple of interns to kluge together a few functions that would compare uploaded profile photos to images available on stock photo sites, and flag them if they find a match…
Yes… Truly a shame that is, evidently, far beyond their capabilities…
Funny the company is be called AOG Technics.
While everyone is familiar with ASAP, how many know that’s the lowest priority for orders in aviation. Next up the ladder is I.O.R., “immediate operation required,” meaning the aircraft needs the part immediately.
Extreme priority goes to the parts order that have the airplane sitting on the ground, waiting, while it is scheduled to fly already. This is the packages that other airliners wait for to carry, orders for wich private jets are chartered to deliver if nee
