Buddy, the plane moves down the line in assembly regardless of production issues.
I watched it with my own eyes, shaking my head, as aircraft advanced toward the door, often out to flight line, with jobs uncompleted, and non conforming issues left hanging, as "milestones" trump everything else.....
I wish I could say otherwise, but I can't. I had to finish jobs out there in the weather, out of sequence, because of production faults totally out of my control.....
Yes, the $$$$ seems to be the deciding factor as why.
