    The company has previously been accused of a “shoot the messenger” strategy in which workers were punished for raising safety concerns.

    Both literally and figuratively

    If you work at the FAA circle the block when you arrive and leave work to see if someone follows you.

    i mean, it’s just a few peasants’ lives. who cares? what’s important is that shareholders and the rich can afford their third summer mansion and support yatchs.

      I too think there’s fishy shit going on with John Barnett.

      But Joshua Dean tested positive for Influenza A and MRSA. He died of pneumonia brought on by these. In his case he just happens to be a whistle blower who tragically died of illness at a weird time.

      Edit: He was young

      He was 45, not particularly young

      His family said he was always healthy and never had been to the hospital before

      Healthy people die of infections too. That’s why everyone should take any medical issue seriously no matter how trivial or common it is. Also, just because his family SAYS he was always healthy, never sick doesn’t mean much, men hide that shit all the time, and “tough it out”

      A few more people have stepped forward recently. That list is about to get bigger.

    All airlines should suspend their Boeing fleet at this point; and if not, government should step in and force them to.

      Because everyone knows this dumpster fire of a company will eventually be bailed out by the good taxpayers of this country. Pathetic leadership at all levels.

        The only bail out it should get is being turned into 5 different companies headed by actual engineers. Fuck these white collar criminals inserting themselves into companies and then destroying perfectly functional systems and products for the sake of additional profit. But there is no incentive to innovate without competition.

        And as a second option? Cool. Boeing, it’s been great but all admin is fired and you are rolled into NASA. K thanks.
