A former Boeing employee, who was found dead in March, accused the company of “countless” violations of US law in testimony given just before his death.
John Barnett claimed the firm tried to “eliminate” quality inspections at a plant that makes 787 planes.
The former quality control manager had been giving a formal legal deposition against the plane manufacturer.
The transcript of Mr Barnett’s deposition has now been released by his lawyers. The lengthy document runs to more than 140 pages.
The bulk of Mr Barnett’s deposition focuses on the period from 2010 onwards, after he had moved from Boeing’s facility in Everett, Washington to what was then a brand-new factory in North Charleston.
OK, so Boeing cannot be a murder, there has to be someone who actually did it. So who would that be? The CEO? A hired hitman? Who?
And WHY? It would make no difference, the testimony is already out there. It would be cheaper and easier to simply lawyer up and fight, then to hire and then have to pay off somebody. Because that somebody would always have dirt on whoever did the hiring.
Maybe I am wrong, but this really makes no sense.
his testimony was not over, he had another round the next day
he said that he was not suicidal. He saw it coming.
Until someone confesses, the group with the most motive is Boeing. Bag them all and make them squeal.
What is the motive? and exactly who cares when money can make this go away? But no, murder will make everyone not care, really? This is absolutely silly.
Why are you acting like this is some impossible mystery that we’ll never understand? The motive is either “silencing him so he can’t reveal more”, “intimidating other potential whistleblowers”, or a combination of both. Is this some grand revelation to you, or are you deliberately acting like you’ve been dropped on your head every day since birth?
Yeah, we’re actively seeing how money has made all of Boeing’s problems go away. No investigations are happening, there could not be any issues if further whistleblowers step forward 🙄
Again, think about the motives for more than half a second, and you’ll see that the idea isn’t to “make everyone not care”.
Unlike you, Not everyone is for sale.
