This does not look good for Boeing. I think there has to be consequences or quality assurance will turn into a joke.

This does not look good for Boeing. I think there has to be consequences or quality assurance will turn into a joke.

The issues that this guy was "whistleblowing" about were from long ago. He retired in 2017. Since that time he had been involved in lawsuits against Boeing.

We live on a small airport. Our longtime next-door neighbor also worked as a “quality assurance manager” for Boeing. When he left Boeing, he went to work for the FAA.

I don't want to go into specifics this morning, but our neighbor has a long history of behavior that has been on the fringe. He is a quiet man but can be very scary. He is very well armed and if I heard that he went on a “Falling Down” (movie) type rampage or shot himself I would not find that surprising.

Even if he was still working for Boeing... I am not sure why such an event would have any reflection on the company.

“John Barnett worked for the US aerospace giant Boeing for more than three decades, until his retirement. The 62-year-old retired in 2017, on health grounds. After retiring, Barnett embarked on a llong-running legal action against the firm.”

Are the quality issues with Boeing a feature or just incompetence? What better way to get the common person to give up free movement to distant places than to scare them into not traveling. I smell a 15 minute city rat in all of this.
