Default Spirit AeroSystems Whistleblower Dies After Sudden Infection

Coincidence???

Dean is the second Boeing-linked whistleblower to have died in the last two months as the company has come under heightened scrutiny.

Dean, who was 45 and lived in Wichita, Kan., was in good health .........

Looks like Hillary C might just be a pissed off stockholder of that company!

The only thing dropping faster than parts off planes seems to be Boeing whistleblowers.

It's a shame what happened to Boeing. They used to be the gold standard for airplanes.

Some might say they're DEI-ing a slow death.

The only time it makes sense to kill somebody is before they tell their story.

No court testimony, no cross examination, no names of people to support the story further, no details beyond what has already been stated.

It certainly gives any OTHER potential whistleblower or complainer pause, as in, "maybe I shouldn't say anything, so nothing bad happens to me or my family."

For a practical example of what that looks like, look how GA Gov. Brian Kemp changed after his daughter's fiance was car bombed.
