Mr John Barnett, who worked at Boeing for 32 years until his retirement in 2017, died on March 9.
WASHINGTON – A former Boeing worker who raised concerns about the planemaker’s production standards at its North Charleston 787 Dreamliner factory has been found dead, the BBC reported.
In the days before his death, Mr Barnett had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing, the BBC said. In 2019, Mr Barnett was cited in a New York Times story saying that the North Charleston factory, one of two plants that make the 787 Dreamliner, had faced problems with production and oversight that created a safety threat.
Mr Barnett said he found clusters of metal slivers hanging over the wiring that commands flight controls, the report said.
