What bothers me too is, as passengers we have no control over what plane we fly on.
All the recent flights I got were the renamed airmax. Not exactly reassuring.

RIP.

Red and Blue Army!

None of us will know what happened here, and no one will really try to find out. That is how it works. Who in their right mind would go up against a massive company?

This will become old news very quickly.

Being a Whistleblower has always seemed to be associated with :

The end of your career
Financial suffering
Generally putting yourself 'at risk'.

In an ideal world these 'suicides' should be investigated properly, . . .

I have seen the consequences of being a whistleblower , at a much lower level than Boeing.
It was enlightening to hear this persons revelations about company activities, and they left under a cloud. I don't think they were ever employed in that job sector again, as other companies (even competitors) seemed to close ranks.
They suffered financial hardship as the company put out statements denying any (illegal) activities had taken place and asking anyone who had evidence of such to 'step forward'
So obviously, no one dared to come forward. They all feared the same consequences.

Just thinking about the Christian Horner and the allegations made by a lower ranking employee.
You really need hard evidence (recorded phone calls, photos, texts or videos) to be successful. That said, are the current top team in F1 going to throw out their chief because of some allegations about behaviour ? There was either no evidence, or the victim would be given a brown envelope.

The allegations against a major aircraft manufacturer could have cost the company £billions. Big boys don't do Brown Envelopes, they have other ways which act as a deterrent.
