Are these facilities not regularly audited by a 3rd party to maintain their ISO certifications? The stuff mentioned in the article (key card feeler gauge...WTF!?) would/should have been caught in any routine audit.

They are audited by FAA "compliance officers" who conveniently are employees of the company they are auditing. No conflict of interest at all

That's absolutely insane...why is it not a requirement to have audits performed by a third party, or the FAA themselves? This is laughably ridiculous, especially for an industry that claims to be focused on safety and quality.

The term you're looking for is "regulatory capture."
