Boeing: Whistleblower's family blames plane maker for John Barnett's death. He testified in court for two days, and was dead on the third day.
John Barnett was employed by Boeing for 32 years, including in quality control at a Boeing factory in South Carolina. He left the company in 2017. In 2019, he made headlines when he publicly made serious allegations against the aircraft manufacturer: Production lines had been converted in a hurry for mass production of the Dreamliner - at the expense of quality and safety.
