Boeing whistleblower John Barnett found dead in US

What John Barnett did that's what the corrupted people at my job of nine and a half years were hoping I would do too! When exposing corruption, you have to be able to stand alone on your own two feet and be flexible enough to bend when punched hard by the bullies so you can get back up stronger!  Corrupted people only care about money and power over others and don't care about anyone's safety and well-being. Sadly, John Barnett didn't find the strength to stand alone.

"A former Boeing employee known for raising concerns about the firm's production standards has been found dead in the US.

John Barnett worked for Boeing for more than 30 years before retiring in 2017.

In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.

It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Mr Barnett had worked for the US plane giant for three decades, until his retirement in 2017 on health grounds.

From 2010, he was employed as a quality manager at the North Charleston plant. The facility builds the 787 Dreamliner, a state-of-the-art airliner used mainly on long-haul routes.

In 2019, Mr Barnett told the BBC that under-pressure workers had been deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the production line.

He also said he had uncovered serious problems with oxygen systems, which could mean one in four breathing masks would not work in an emergency.

He said soon after starting work in South Carolina he had become concerned that the push to get new aircraft built meant the assembly process was rushed and safety was compromised, something the company denied."
