>I've written about this here some time ago - you don't pay for the soap dispenser or trash bin itself, you pay for the paperwork showing that it is safe to install this trash bin
What really makes me livid is that the same people who are in here now screeching about Boeing's misdeeds with no thought given to mitigating facts would instantly grasp the concept of paying for a paper trail and happily use it as justification to crucify some puddle jumping airline operator in Alaska who sourced unapproved stuff.
Feeling entitled to engage in cognitive dissonance like that when it benefits you plays a key role of so many problems in society these days, including shoddy work and overpriced soap dispensers at Boeing
That said, I still think $600 is absurd. The .mil probably already has a soap dispenser thats sufficient that Boeing could have made a mount for.
