One of the first informants to claim that Spirit AeroSystems, a Boeing supplier, had disregarded 737 MAX production flaws was a former quality auditor who passed away on Tuesday.
According to the Seattle Times, Joshua Dean battled a sudden, rapidly developing illness that ultimately claimed his life.
Before his unexpected death, at the age of 45, he was apparently in good health following a two-week battle for his life in the hospital.
According to the Times investigation, Dean had a part in the accusations made against Boeing.
“Dean submitted a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging “severe and flagrant wrongdoing by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit, and he also provided a deposition in a lawsuit brought by Spirit’s shareholders. Dean filed a complaint with the Department of Labor, claiming that his dismissal was a result of him voicing concerns about aviation safety.”
In order to convey a message to those considering coming out, Dean informed American news organization NPR in February that he thought he had been dismissed.
According to reports, he said, “If you are too noisy, we will quiet you.”
According to the Times article, a South Carolina law firm that earlier defended Boeing whistleblower John “Mitch” Barnett was representing Dean.
In March, the 62-year-old was suspected of suicide.
He was discovered dead from a gunshot wound in Charleston, South Carolina, the location of Boeing’s 787 manufacturing site, when he was in the middle of giving depositions in which he claimed Boeing had retaliated against him for concerns about quality breaches.
Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years until retiring from the firm in 2017 due to health issues.
Following their split, he started a protracted legal battle against the business, which he continued until his passing.
Seems to me that the ‘higher-ups’ are eliminating any voice that goes against their ‘agenda’. Kind of like the ‘Clinton Cartel’!!!
I definitely think that this is no coincidence at all. These men all but before two weeks or so are a bit sick. Nothing serious at all, then dead !!! What the hell is going on here??? Someone better hurry up and find out who’s killing them??? Hmmm I got a few ppl in mind that are very fimiliar with this…People WAKE UP… NO ACCIDENT HERE.
The only problem here is when we go up against the power in this country, we have to keep our heads on a swivel as once we expose them to the light, the darkness that is in their soul will consume us all!!!
Sounds like Boeing don’t want anyone talking bad about them— and to the tune of death.
Yel, that sounds right Ann.
