What is the expectation for quality of commercial feathers?

I've always used true flight from the Nocking Point  www.thenockingpoint.com
I don't think I've ever had a bad feather out of several hundred and I'm wondering if they don't go through and throw out the bad ones?

Having built arrows commercially I can tell you overall the quality of feathers has declined, and I have to pull culls in every brand including True Flights.      :(  

I would still rate True Flight at the top of the heap, but you pay for it too.

I have bought all brands over the years, Tru Flight seem most reliable. I always buy full length and they used to be long enough to get 2 5" fletches out of a feather but no more. 2 4" are occasionally possible. Must be killing the turkeys younger!
