Might have something to do with the whistle blowers dying mysteriously
To be fair only the first was a surprise mysterious suicide.
The second was sick for years and died because of that.
Tell me again why we need to be fair to executives that murdered 340+ people to save money on training and certifications for their new plane?
Because it's the right thing to do.
Well if we were treating them fairly they'd be in prison.
Absolutely! And we wouldn't have to speculate or exaggerate or misrepresent to do so.
Now we're on the same page!
Even the 1st wasn't that mysterious if you read more than headlines. John very likely did kill himself. He had already lost his civil suit against Boeing for damages. Was trying to appeal that case. It very likely wasn't going anywhere. Because if he had a case Boeing could have quietly settled before the initial trial.
The case also had nothing to do with current Boeing practices as John retired in 2017. John was suing for defamation.
Is thia a PR release from Boeing lol
This is not correct, he was in normal health until after he became a whistleblower and then he got MRSA and died in 2 weeks.
That shit happens, that's almost exactly how one of my grandparents died but minus the whistleblower part.
Yeah it's pretty low odds though.
