What are Boeing putting their planes together with?? Rubber bands and peanut butter? Hopes and dreams? Hot glue and masking tape?

Not sure what to do with myself knowing they spent time and resources assassinating a whistleblower instead of just like,,,, fixing their planes

#like it’s not even funny #why are the planes falling apart mid air #and why are they still like on schedules??? #flimsier construction than a middle school class trying to do the earthquake proof popsicle skyscrapers #deadass like nearly a dozen fucked up planes this week alone #it’s so over #like they’ve fucked themselves into such an inescapable position #boeing #boeing whistleblower #rest in peace #boeing rest in piss I’ll be glad to see them go #just hope there’s not a gnarly crash before that

a lot of yall are surprised about everything happening with Boeing but like….

do we not remember when they rolled out the 737 MAX 8s ? Boeing claimed no particularly new features were added to the plane (because they would have to retrain all of their pilots), but guess what ? That was false, and multiple planes went down because there were incidents involving the MCAS mid-flight that pilots weren’t trained on, so they couldn’t turn it off or even begin to be able to find where the issue was, they were looking for something they didn’t even know existed.

Boeing knew there would be accidents, but they also knew that paying out settlements from said accidents would take less money and time than retraining all of their pilots properly. Which womp womp, they had to do anyway, but not before flights Lion Air 610 and Ethiopian Airlines 302 went down (crashes that Boeing tried to blame on the pilots)

Before the merger, Boeing was definitely a “safety & engineering first” type of company. I’ve always loved the aviation industry, i’ve always been fascinated by planes but even more importantly, i live in the city in the USA where the most recent large loss of life crash happened (Buffalo NY, Colgan Air 3407). That event shook our entire community, my friend’s dad was unfortunately on that flight and lost his life with 49 others, along with one person on the ground.

the investigation was immediate, serious and thorough, and subsequent changes to the aviation industry were swiftly made and well thought-out and employed. i admired how well it was taken care of, and i’ve always seen (mid80s-2000s) aviation and its governing bodies (shoutout NTSB) as one of the most transparent industries that prided itself on being so.

Ironic that by killing their whistleblower Boeing put all eyes on them, i bet if they did nothing that the lawsuit wouldn’t have even made headlines.

RIP John Barnett, the brave Boeing whistleblower, and RIP all of those who lost their lives in aviation accidents

Like most neoliberal institutions, Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” that essentially reduced the whole concept to a combination of intellectual property, trade secrets, and data, discarding “thought” and “understanding” and “complex reasoning” possessed by a skilled and experienced workforce as essentially not worth the increased health care costs.

(via ‘It’s Not Suicide’: Boeing Whistleblower Warned Friend Before Death)

John Barnett, 62, was in the process of testifying against the Boeing Company regarding the aircraft manufacturer’s manufacturing processes when he was found dead in South Carolina with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Now, though, a family friend of Barnett’s says that, before he died, he warned her that if he were found dead, it would not be the result of a suicide.

Jennifer, who did not share her surname, spoke to local ABC news affiliate WPDE about a concerning conversation she says she had with Barnett. She alleges that Barnett came by to visit her when she needed help, and they began to speak about his upcoming deposition in Charleston, South Carolina.

“He wasn’t concerned about safety because I asked him,” Jennifer told WPDE. “I said, ‘Aren’t you scared?’ And he said, ‘No, I ain’t scared, but if anything happens to me, it’s not suicide.’”

Barnett was staying in a Holiday Inn in Charleston ahead of his deposition; when his lawyers were unable to contact Barnett, they called in a wellness check, according to police reports obtained by the New York Post. A hotel staff member found Barnett’s body in his pickup truck; he was holding a silver pistol in his hand and appeared to have died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

Jennifer told WPDE that she knows “he did not commit suicide. There’s no way. He loved life too much. He loved his family too much. He loved his brothers too much to put them through what they’re going through right now.” She believes that someone wanted to silence Barnett.

Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead In 'Midst Of' Retaliation Case; Attorney Says He’s Shocked

John Barnett, 62, was found dead of "self-inflicted" gunshot wound, police said.

A former Boeing employee who raised numerous concerns about the company's production standards died from a "self-inflicted" gunshot wound Saturday, per a coroner's report. The former employee was actively engaged in a whistleblower complaint against the company prior to his death, the employee's attorney confirmed.

John Barnett, 62, was found by police officers on the morning of March 9 in a vehicle parked at a Holiday Inn along Savannah Highway "holding a silver hand gun in his right hand," according to the Charleston Police Department.

Police said they were responding to a hotel worker's call after the worker heard a "pop" from Barnett's vehicle about 30 minutes prior to officers arriving, per the police report. Barnett had checked into the hotel on March 2 and was due to check out on March 8.

Responding officers discovered a male inside a vehicle "suffering from a gunshot wound to the head," the incident report reads. "He was pronounced deceased at the scene."

The Charleston Police Department said the investigation is still active.

Barnett worked for Boeing for 32 years until his retirement in 2017. He had been actively involved in litigation against the company -- he was deposed before Boeing lawyers last week, according to his lawyer.

Barnett, 62, filed his whistleblower complaint shortly after his retirement from Boeing in 2017. He came forward publicly in 2019 when he and other former Boeing employees partook in interviews with The New York Times. Barnett and others accused Boeing of prioritizing profits over safety.

"John was in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end," Barnett's attorneys, Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles, said in a statement Tuesday. "He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn't see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it."

“Nope! He Didn’t Commit Suicide. He Was Murdered”

Boeing has moved to dismiss the case on several occasions and has denied all of Barnett's allegations – including claims the company put profits over safety. “Safety issues are immediately investigated, and changes are made wherever necessary,” said a Boeing spokesperson at the time of his lawsuit.

Upon learning of Barnett's passing, Boeing released a statement: "We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends."

The news follows the completion of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) audit of Boeing's production lines after a Boeing 737 MAX 9 plane lost its door plug mid-flight earlier this year.

Local authorities found Boeing whistleblower John Barnett dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the state of South Carolina over the weekend, the Charleston County Coroner's Office said in a press release.

The New York Times reported Monday that Boeing failed 33 of 89 audits. Spirit Aerosystems -- a supplier for Boeing that manufactures the fuselage for the 737 -- failed 7 of 13 audits from the FAA.

In response to the results, Boeing said it will "continue to implement immediate changes and develop a comprehensive action plan to strengthen safety and quality, and build the confidence of our customers and their passengers."
