Every fucking engineer and inspector that got burned by this dangerous criminal 90 day whistleblower process had better be writing a will and talking to a lawyer right now. If it can't be fixed now I don't know how it will ever. It had always struck me as funny that the FAA has Boeing inspect and okay their own planes, that is the first thing that needs to change.

It's the first and primary duty of being an aviation engineer, the duty to the public (or in simple terms, to not have planes fall out of the sky). The systemic, criminal, and wilful negligence in management that has let things get this bad has to be rectified, before more people get hurt. Management needs major reprisals for firing and punishing engineers who did their job correctly.

Boeing killed John Barnett and Joshua Dean

[–] Crackhappy 6 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I agree that it's a strong likelihood for John, but I thought Joshua died from an upper respiratory infection. Is there any evidence that it was caused by an outside party that I've missed?

No it's just a coincidence as far as we know. But it does look bad at first glance.

My conspiracy theory about MRSA is that an innocent person could just visit two patients, one with it and one without it and MRSA would infect the second patient. Thus it could very easily be weaponized against people who end up in the hospital. So I would love to see those records publicly to check everyone who visited. Did any of them visit another patient who happened to be infected and when.

Evidence? They hired professionals, so no. How likely is it that a second Boeing whistleblower died suddenly? It’s pretty fishy.

I'm not a huge fan of Cory Doctorow's novels, but he definitely has a way with words.

[–] psychothumbs 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm a huge fan of both his novels and his blogging.

I tried getting into a couple of his novels and they just didn't click with me. Admittedly, this was decades ago, so I may feel differently now.
