it was North, haven’t you heard of alternate facts?

you are totally missing what he just got doing and what he was going to go do. Yeah, the media was parading him around like some hero. Well, I can guarantee you the lawyers that were doing his deposition were not. They would have poked all kinds of holes in his story, and been real jerks about it, they are lawyers after all. The guy was under the impression that Boeing was an airline, not a manufacturer.

The guy's own lawyers said that he was happy and upbeat the day before.

And yet the subjects own brother said the subject suffered from PTSD and anxiety attacks.

The subject, who had worked for Boeing for three decades, in quality control, didn't know that Boeing is a manufacturer? He was misguided after thirty years and thought he worked for an airline?

You're sure about that?

Without evidence, you've managed to roll a littany of fallacies and irrelevance into one post and provide absolutely nothing of substance. Pfizer is irrelevant, but between your straw man and red herrings, what has altruism got to do with the price of tea in China? Conspiracy minded claptrap without evidence doesn't count for much.

Part of you wonders about that? Which part?

Have it removed. Just when one thought the conspiracy bull **** couldn't get any deeper, here it is. Idiotic. He killed himself to provoke public discussion? Now there's some self-sacrifice.

PNWFlyer

yes, I am sure, because I have been reading about his nonsense since 2019. He claims that when they found damaged parts on the assembly line he would red tag them. Then a manager would come by and have the next shift come in and reinstall it on the aircraft so it could fly to the delivery center in Everette. Back then they didn’t deliver aircraft from Charleston. Everything went to Everett first. What he didn’t know, and no one felt the need to explain it to him, is that flying with non-conforming parts is legal on production ticketed aircraft flown under part 91 operations. The parts were replaced before delivery in Everett. He even admitted in a 2019 NTY podcast that he can’t prove the planes were delivered that way. Because he wasn’t there!!!

This is one of the cases where just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean you're wrong.

Whistleblower types are frequently disaffected, with border-line or not-so-borderline personality disorders. They can be prone to be the canary in the coal mine, as more stable folks tend to not want to rock the boat they sail in. There are obviously issues at BCA, and half of the population of SEA had to have known about it.

He hasn't been 'vindicated' recently. A lot of the stuff he alleged was disproven or he couldn't prove it. Where's the tie in to current issues that he supposedly pointed out in 2017?

Ever dealt with conspiracy, whistle blower, martyrs, or people who see the worst in everything? Or who have pyschological issues on top of these other issues? It can be a mess to deal with. No clue if any of that applies to this case but given his legal losses Occam says it's probably not a conspiracy. But boy oh boy is this a text book trigger for conspiracy believers....and anyone who doesn't see the conspiracy is a sheep!!

Sliceback

Last but not least, psychotherapy for both whistleblowers and family members who provide them with support during this time is a life-saving necessity. Psychology and psychiatry programs can develop curricula focused specifically on whistleblowing, with psychologists who create programs for people to regulate their nervous systems and build the coping mechanisms to move through gaslighting and shame, and the after-effects of whistleblowing which could include insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, or substance abuse

Are you and/or this site on the Boeing payroll? Lol. No need for you to attack the credibility of a dead guy.

And why was this thread buried and hidden in the pilot lounge>safety section that few people scroll down to?

rickair7777

??? I'm the one saying the circumstances are a tad suspicious, go read my posts again carefully, and the ones I'm replying to for context. Your reading comprehension is very poor. Whistleblowers are what they are, doesn't mean they're wrong.

And it's not "buried", this is the forum for stuff like this, we don't need multiple threads in multiple forums for the same topic.
