It really makes you think what else is going on at Boeing besides the poor QA.

What time is it?
“Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing.”
Maybe they didn't expect the body to be found?

I mean yeah this looks bad but as a guy who works for a mega corp, there is no way a publicly traded corporation is going to hire a hitman to silence him. These people have a hard time making sure to correctly bolt doors on airplanes- you think they could manage an airtight hit?

There are other people who specialise in that kind of thing, all it takes is money and they handle the rest.

This will be forgotten in a few months and Boeing will continue to be shitty and no one will care. Thats how the real world works.

Just the kind of thread you want to read a few days after booking transatlantic flights - on a fucking Boeing.

I hope at least they had the minimum of decorum to release that statement after the police found the body.“Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing.”

He shot himself in the back of the head with two different caliber bullets and then stuffed himself into a duffel bag. So sad.

This is just wild. Absolutely insane on so many levels.
Special shout out to the regulators who's job it is to keep these companies in check, congrats on a job well done.

Mr. Community
Regulators are powerless because:
The industry has bribed (“contributed”) to politicians to defang regulators like the ffaa and to get industry buddies to be elected as leaders of these regulatory bodies, to the point Boeing was allowed to appoint employees as ffaa inspectors while still being under Boeing payroll.

RyanAir uses Boeing only on its main fleet. A few maxes also.

Did you guys know that the reporter who did the rolling stones expose on the U.S general in Afghanistan who was caught talking shit about Obama and subsequently fired? Well, the reporter also died a few years later in a car crash going 120 mph.
The actress Anne Heche who also died in similar circumstances did not have any drugs or alcohol in her system. but she was also working on a child trafficking documentary.
im not one to believe in conspiracy theories but this is all very suspicious.

Didn’t they spin Anne heche to have drinking problems or am I mistaken?
Edit update I looked it up and they said it was mental health

in a residential neigborhood where even Schumacher would have a hardtime reaching this speed, and they found a few pristine cans of beer near the totally burned wreck so we definitely know it was because he drank and drove and not a hit.
It's the type of suicide where the victim isn't given a choice.
