      Heroic democratic whistleblower who blew the whistle on the major oligarch controlled airlines found dead under suspicious circumstances, Radio Free Europe interviewed Henrich McNazi of the Nazi Institute how Putin would mastermind such an assassination.

      Also imagine how the jackal reporters in the West would react if any of the shit that happened to Boeing recently happened to the Chinese Comac C919?

    Listen, he just shot himself in the head in his own truck during a break in the deposition

    Barnett ‘was supposed to do day three of his deposition here in Charleston on his AIR21 case [on Saturday],’ referring to a federal law that provides whistleblowers protection in the aviation industry. ‘John had been back and forth for quite some time getting prepared,’ he continued, providing a timeline of what transpired in the days before Barnett’s death.

    This is a drum Barnett had been beating for a long time…recently to address issues that Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft had been experiencing lately.

    Just an apparently loud critic of a megacorporation turning up dead, nothing to see here

    Just as the FAA finds multiple failings on the part of Boeing and its supply chain. I’m sure the whistleblower who raised these concerns would be delighted devastated to hear that, and would probably want to end his own life and this definitely isn’t Boeing taking revenge at the mounting evidence against them and simultaneously deleting witnesses.

    What a mess of an article, so much repetition that really just made such a mess of this repetitive article.

    If the quality of the bbc’s output is this low then I don’t understand the surprise people have when hearing tiktok is a major news source. At least a tiktok would get edited.

    Does anyone know of anything labor unions do to keep whistle-blowers safe? Seems like an obvious service for a union to provide but my search didn’t turn up anything labor union related.

      Some of the more militant old unions still keep clandestine de facto militias, but in general no, they dont since you need goons with guns to protect them

    First the 737 Max debacle, now this shit. Boeing could not provide a better welcome to China’s Comac C919 (which competes directly with the 737 Max line).
