If a newbie is reading this thread and jumps to the conclusion that Airstream is some super high quality trailer that has no problems, I would suggest going over to the dedicated forum ( airforums ) and do a search for and some reading on quality issues, then make up your own mind.
As to comparing the number of hours A/S vs Jayco building trailers, that does not tell us much. Ford spits out a F150 about every 50 seconds. Does that mean it's junk ? Not hardly. What it tells us is they have developed production procedures that are efficient. Jayco builds a lot more trailers each year than A/S, so they need a more efficient production line.
I have no dog in that fight.... I don't own a jayco nor an airstream.
