DOJ probe also means criminal charges coming to Boeing

In related news I'm advising all my friends that they'd better invest in some heavy firepower. I just saw this documentary about how the on 4th of July, aliens invade the world and it takes a rag tag group of pilots to fight them off!!! My question though is how should one bid to take full advantage of it? If I bid for a trip that touches the 4th, I should get the 5:15 hours of holiday add pay, but then if the government puts out a call for all pilots to destroy the alien scurge, the company has to buy me off the trip, right? A 4 day trip that pays a 26:15 where the only "work" is a 2.0 F-18 sortie? Maybe a 1.0 training sortie added in the mix? Sounds like a sweet deal to me!!! Plus if it's in defense of life, liberty, and a LAS domicile that's traveling for company business out of domicile so I should get positive space too!

Enough with the Hollywood fiction & let’s deal within the realm of reality, please. If you get pulled off the trip to fight the aliens you will lose the holiday pay.

I think this guy knew full well that if he died an unnatural death there would be a swirl of conspiracy theories thereafter. Being a whistleblower against such a giant corporation would take a major toll on anyone. Assuming he did indeed do it to himself you've gotta kinda admire his final raised middle finger at BA.

As I’ve said before, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I am a coincidence noticer.
