Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead
Former Employee Raised Concerns About Quality Control and Safety
On Wednesday, May 2, 2024, the Seattle Times reported that former Boeing employee John Barnett was found dead. Barnett had recently raised concerns about quality control and safety issues within the company. He had been scheduled to give a deposition in a lawsuit against Boeing.
Barnett's Death Raises Questions
Barnett's death has raised questions about the safety of Boeing aircraft and the company's willingness to address safety concerns. His death comes just months after the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in Ethiopia, which killed all 157 people on board.
Barnett's concerns about Boeing's quality control and safety practices were not new. In 2018, he filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that it had ignored his concerns and retaliated against him for speaking out. Barnett's death has brought his concerns back into the spotlight and has raised questions about whether Boeing is doing enough to ensure the safety of its aircraft.
