A former Boeing employee, who was found dead in March, accused the company of "countless" violations of US law in testimony given just before his death.

John Barnett claimed the firm tried to "eliminate" quality inspections at a plant that makes 787 planes.

The former quality control manager had been giving a formal legal deposition against the plane manufacturer.

The transcript of Mr Barnett's deposition has now been released by his lawyers. The lengthy document runs to more than 140 pages.

The bulk of Mr Barnett's deposition focuses on the period from 2010 onwards, after he had moved from Boeing's facility in Everett, Washington to what was then a brand-new factory in North Charleston.

Is he the one that said "if anything happens, it's not suicide" before he was found dead from "self-Inflicted" gunshots?

Don't forget that he wanted to drove home that night, but was forced to stay one more night by Boeing's lawyers to give an response in court in the morning.

I didn't even know about that, thank you for being terrifying

Did he "kill himself" at a Boeing office?

[–] RadicalCandour@startrek.website 33 points 6 months ago

I mean that and the third bullet that news isn't reporting....(Kidding about 3rd but his ☠️ is 100% on Boeing)

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago
