1) Boeing Supplier, not Boeing.
2) He died of pneumonia.
3) I wasn't aware Hillary now worked for Boeing?

MRSA, not pneumonia.

....this definitely happens in a hospital (I believe hospitals are, by far, the most prominent source for contracting MRSA)...but ah, /puts on conspiracy hat/ is definitely something that could be easily introduced during recovery, by some nefarious actor, and easily written off as poor medical practices.

He was still a whistleblower. You have to admit it's strange as fuck considering how blatant they were about the first guy.

So the idea is Boeing knocked off a guy that reported a supplier was delivering shitty product to them? Why exactly would Boeing want a supplier to deliver poor quality products to them? Reworking travelled supplier problems is very expensive and disruptive to the final assembly line. Of course, all of this to silence a guy that's been talking for multiple years. If he had any major data that would have resulted in a fleet action, there would've already been a fleet action from the FAA.

Again when did Hillary join the board?

It's amazing how easily thinking progressives fall for the same conspiracy bullshit as Alex Jones followers.

I mean, tinfoil answer is because they're cheap, and the cost to rework sounds like a motive to me, frankly.
Boeing likes spending money on rework so they knock off someone ratting out their key supplier because they want more rework? What?

Also they don't use Spirit because they are cheap, Spirit is not a cheap supplier. Boeing sold the contracts with that chunk of the company when they sold it. Further, Spirit is basically the only place in the world that could do this work today, they have 13M square feet of high bay, fully environmentally controlled manufacturing space including over a million square feet of clean room space. They have been building the components they build there for decades.

Over the years there have been publicly known quality issues from Spirit that have resulted in missed deliveries and airworthiness directives, why would Boeing not kill anyone over that, but kill someone over ratting out what appears to be less serious problems?

I think it's possible that some random guy got sick and died, than the Clinton's are knocking off anyone that says anything negative about anyone connected with Boeing.

BTW: Spirit also makes stuff for Airbus and Gulfstream.

If the whistleblower with the deets is a corpse, you may not have to rework anything. 'The allegations turned out to be unfounded' or some such.

I don't know enough about this to make any kind of educated opinion though, just throwing some chum into the water.

I didn't address the Hilary comment for a reason. I didn't claim that nor am I backing it up. I specifically referenced just two points.

Any aircraft he knew anything about has long since been delivered. He left 2 years ago.

The Hillary point wasn't serious, it's to illustration how ridiculous the idea is that Boeing is going around offing people that have years old information that they've already shared. Right up there with the Clinton death list BS.

That's why hypochondriacs that like getting unnecessary surgery are idiots. I know, I worked in the Biomedical Engineering department at Evanston Hospital for 2 and a half years. You are so, vulnerable while you are patient.

As part of his lawsuit against them, he had already shared the information with the FAA.
So being in the middle of the depositions was meaningless? I mean those are kind of important in the legal process, for it to proceed. Methinks you are downplaying that a bit.

For the legal process of him sueing Boeing for retaliation, not in the legal process of fixing aircraft. But I'm sure a few executives risked their freedom to save a few million dollars of Boeing's money by killing one dude that was sueing them.

Anything to do with aircraft was already shared with the FAA.

So you think in the history of American Capitalism, nobody has ever been offed when they threatened big corp/business?

I don't think this small potatoes guy that had already spilled the beans to the regulators and the media was killed to protect a hundred billion dollar company from a relatively tiny lawsuit. Boeing isn't ran by the mob.

You think any business interests that protected their money in that way had to be run by the mob? I mean ever hear of rich corrupt people just protecting their interests? The world is a pretty ugly place, and that goes way way beyond anything mob related btw.
