Boeing Faces 10 More Whistleblowers After Mystery Deaths
In the span of 2 months, Two Boeing whistleblowers have died under mysterious circuits.

The first, 62-year-old John Barnett, died from an appropriate self-inflated gunshot veil on March 9. He was found dead in his Dodge Ram truck holding a silver pistol in his hand in the parking lot of a South Carolina hotel after he failed to show up for the second half of his testimony for a suit against the company. Barnett, who retired in 2017, warned that Boeing had cut corners to velocity its 787 Dreamliners into service. He gives numerical interviews in which he described how he lodged interior companies about serious safety flares.
The second, 45-year-old Joshua Dean, a erstwhile Spirit AeroSystems quality auditor, died last Tuesday from a fast-growing infection. In 2022 he raised the alarm over efficiently drilled bullhead holes for the 737 MAX, and was fire little than a year later.
‘I think they were sending out a message to anybody else,“ Dean told NPR, adding ‘If you are besides loud, we will silence you.‘
Now, Boeing faces 10 more Whistleblowers – and attorneys for the deceased men are hoping that the deaths don’t spook the remainder away, the NY Post reports.

‘These men were heroes. So are all the whistleblowers. They loved the company and wanted to aid the company do better,” lawyer Brian Knowles – who represented both Barnett and Dean, old the Post. ‘They didn’t talk out to be aggravating or for name. They’re raising concerns due to the fact that people’s lives are at stake.”
Accepting to Knowles, “I knew John Barnett for 7 years and never saw anything that would indicate he would take his own life,” but added “Then again, I’ve never made a deal with individual who did (commit success). So possibly you don’t see the signs. I don’t know.”
Knowles pointed out that the Charleston, SC, police are inactive wrapping up their investment of Barnett’s death — and that it may take any weeks for tests to uncover more about Dean’s passing.
“It’s a stunting fate,” Spirit AeroSystems spokesperson Joe Buccino said of Dean. (The company is not to be confused with Spirit Airlines.) “Our focus here has been on his loved ones.”
Buccino insisted that Spirit “encourages” employees to come distant with their concerts and that they are then “clouded under protection.” -NY Post
And while Boeing says they besides “encourage” employees to talk up, that’s news to another Boeing Whistleblowers who say they’ve either face rhetoric or ben ignored.
For example, Ed Pierson, 61, a erstwhile elder manager at Boeing’s Renton, Washington 737 factory, left Boeing six years ago and created the Foundation for Aviation Safety – after trying invain to get Boeing executions to shut down production of the plane prior to 2 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 which left 346 people dead.
‘It’s an unstable company right now from the top to the bottom,’ Pierson told the Post. "Senior corporate leadership is so fixed on not accepting the fact that they can't commit anything."
Last month, Pierson told legislature about what he characterized as a "criminal cover-up" by Boeing bosses.
“Boeing is an American icon,” Pierson said. "This company is incredibly importing to our country, both economically and in terms of national safety with its commercial aviation side and its military defence work. But it does’t work erstwhile you have the crow people driving the bus.”
Following Barnett’s death, Boeing employers told The Post that he had made ‘powerful enemies,’ and 1 said that they were sketchical that it was a suicide.
