They’re just replacing the T-104-A/C Throttle Body Controller Sub-Assemblies on the GE/CF34-10A Engines that Americans don’t want to replace.

The report said even foreign-based repair stations that are certified by the FAA are not required to have drug and alcohol testing programs, to employ FAA-certified personnel and are not subject to U.S. security requirements—unlike repair stations based in the United States.

It never mattered Who fixed a problem, but it always mattered Who inspected and signed off on the repair of a problem. Everything else is bulls$it. One FAA certified A&P on the payroll makes a hanger a repair station, (After buckets of paperwork) but a line A&P with an out of date caliper calibration in his tool box, untouched since being calibrated, still gives the FAA authority to shut down the repair station. It's always procedure over practicality with the FAA. It keeps the lawsuits at bay, gov't employees employed and politicians preferring private aircraft.
