Well, actually, the airlines ARE aware of the market in non-OEM parts.
Some airlines even gasp buy PMA parts to install on their aircraft.
It's not as much of an issue as you seem to think it is. There is
nothing illegal or unethical about non-OEM parts in the spares marketplace.

PMA does not equal counterfeiting.

I wonder what you think of Pratt & Whitney's decision to manufacture
CFM56 parts.....
