[DEI woke = going broke...] Second Boeing whistleblower dies after short illness

Joshua Dean, a Boeing whistleblower who warned of manufacturing defects in 
the planemaker’s 737 Max, has died after a short illness, the second 
Boeing whistleblower to die this year.

Dean, 45, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, 
filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) alleging 
“serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 
production line” at Spirit.

In 2018 and 2019, two 737 Max planes were involved in fatal crashes, which 
killed 346 people. Dean was fired by Spirit last year, and filed a 
complaint with the Department of Labor alleging that his termination was 
in retaliation for raising safety concerns.

According to the Seattle Times, Dean was hospitalized after having trouble 
breathing. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and a serious 
infection before dying two weeks later.

“He passed away yesterday morning, and his absence will be deeply felt. We 
will always love you Josh,” Dean’s aunt, Carol Dean Parsons, said via 
Facebook.

Dean was represented by the same law firm that represented Boeing 
whistleblower John “Mitch” Barnett. Barnett, 62, was found dead in March 
from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Barnett spent almost three decades at Boeing, and told the New York Times 
in 2019 that he had found “clusters or metal slivers” hanging over the 
wiring of flight controls that could have caused “catastrophic” damage if 
they had penetrated wires.

He alleged that management had ignored his complaints and moved him to 
another part of the plant.

Last month, another Boeing whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, told Congress 
there was “no safety culture” at Boeing, and alleged that employees who 
raised the alarm were “ignored, marginalized, threatened, sidelined and 
worse”. He said he feared “physical violence” after going public with his 
concerns.

US regulators are now investigating Boeing after a mid-air door-panel 
blowout in January on a Boeing 737 Max 9.

Reuters reported last month that the justice department is now weighing 
whether Boeing violated an agreement that shielded it from criminal 
prosecution over the fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019.
