The first one was supposedly a suicide. This one is due to a sudden, fast-moving infection. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
A whistleblower at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems died Tuesday morning following a struggle with a ‘sudden, fast-spreading infection,’ the Seattle Times reports.
45-year-old Joshua Dean, a former mechanical engineer and quality auditor from Wichita, Kansas, alleged that Spirit leadership ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, including ‘mechanics improperly drilling holes in the aft pressure bulkhead of the MAX.’ When he brought this up with management, he said that nothing was done about it. So he filed a safety complaint with the FAA – and said that Spirit had used him as a scapegoat while they lied to the agency about the defects.
“After I was fired, Spirit AeroSystems [initially] did nothing to inform the FAA, and the public” regarding the bulkhead defects, said Dean in his complaint.
In November, the FAA suggested to Dean in a letter that his claims had merit, writing “The investigation determined that your allegations were appropriately addressed under an FAA-approved safety program,” adding “However, due to the privacy provisions of those programs, specific details cannot be released.”
Read about airlines losing a billion due to Boeing and discontinuing some stops.
Airlines who bought the Boeing’s best-selling aircraft, the 737 Max, are seeing huge monetary losses from the grounding of the aircraft earlier this year. Two U.S. airlines — American and Southwest — have already lost nearly $1 billion due to the Boeing 737 MAX’s grounding, and one airline could reject Boeing aircraft altogether. (h/t-Medium)
Wasn’t it Chicago jesus (the ONE!) who brought all the copy paste Pajeet engineers over and the Boing (rimshot) moved to CPUSA (D) HQ to Chicago to be closer to the messiah, the ONE?
