Suicide Mission: What Boeing did to all the guys who remember how to build a plane

FTA:

"By now you know what became of Swampy: He was found dead a few weeks ago with a gunshot wound to his right temple, “apparently” self-inflicted, on what was meant to be the third day of a three-day deposition in his whistleblower case against his former employer; his amended complaint, which his lawyer released last week, is the basis for much of this story.

It is worth noting here that Swampy’s former co-workers universally refuse to believe that their old colleague killed himself. One former co-worker who was terrified of speaking publicly went out of their way to tell me that they weren’t suicidal. “If I show up dead anytime soon, even if it’s a car accident or something, I’m a safe driver, please be on the lookout for foul play.”"

Sounds about right. More great work from these super valuable executives who must be paid astronomical salaries so that they won’t leave.

Highly recommend Flying Blind, which is the blow by blow of the destruction of a thing of beauty and quality in Boeing. Cannot recommend it enough, digs into the defanging of government regulators, anti-union efforts and more. Read it 2 years ago and it's only continuing to get worse.

Link above is not to Amazon because fuck Bezos, he's trying to sue to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional so unions can be completely eliminated. Publisher may not be much better but it's something.

That's fucking chilling.
