This story contains the details of a person who takes his life, which some readers may know sadly.

Boeing’s family last year has filed a lawsuit against the company.

The complaint says John Barnet has been subjected to a campaign of harassment, insults and humiliation after raising concerns about safety issues.

It claims that the company’s behavior was “clearly and expected” to die.

Boeing said he was saddened by Mr. Barnnet’s death and offered his condolences to his family.

Former Boeing CEO of Boeing found dead From something that police described on March 9 last year as a shooting wound at a hotel in Charleston.

The 146-page request was brought by his mother, Vicky Stox, Rodney’s brothers and Michael. He was registered in South Carolina on Wednesday.

He attributes his death to Boeing’s actions, including what he describes by his managers as a campaign of revenge that reaches “an environment of hostility.

“Whether or not Boeing intended to lead John to death or just destroy his ability to work, it was completely expected that Boeing’s behavior would lead to the PTSD and the depression of John’s unbearable depression… Boeing’s behavior was clear, and clearly expected, John’s death.

Mr. Barnet describes him as a loyal and idealist worker who “seriously played his role in protecting the flying people” and “believing that he has a personal, legal and moral duty to ensure … that all the possible shortcomings have been evidenced and resolved.

He talks about how he was allegedly harassed, disrespected, humiliated and treated with insults, and to be removed from the investigations they worked on and on the blacklist to transfer to other positions of quality control within the company.

In March 2017, Mr. Barnett retired from Boeing, while the claim he had suffered from severe depression and anxiety, and knew he was going to be fired. The request says the company continued to put pressure on him, for example, by preventing friends who continued to work there in any contact with them.

Among the exhibitions presented to support the claim, there is an email that says, “Boeing has completely destroyed my view of life” and the final notes of his manuscript, “I can’t do this anymore!!

Safety concerns arose

John Barnet has worked in Boeing for 32 years.

Since 2010, he was appointed as the quality director of the Boeing factory north of Charleston, South Carolina. The facility builds 787 Dreamliners, an advanced aircraft that is mainly used on distant roads.

During his work at the factory, Mr. Barnett raised a number of concerns about the management of safety measures, as well as about the deficiencies in the production line aircraft.

He then took his concerns to the media. In 2019, he told the BBC that:

  • Low pressure workers deliberately put under the standards with the production line aircraft
  • The workers had not been able to implement the procedures that were intended to follow up the communities through the factory, allowing the incomplete communities to be lost.
  • He had revealed serious problems in the oxygen system in 787, which could mean that one in four respiratory masks does not work in a state of emergency.

Boeing refused. But the 2017 review of the US Secretary of the Federal Aviation (FAA), raised some of Mr. Barnett’s concerns.

He proved that the location of at least 53 “unacaged” parts is unknown in the factory, and is considered missing. Boeing was ordered to take reforms.

On the issue of oxygen cylinder, the company said that in 2017, “some oxygen bottles received from suppliers that are not properly fixed. But he refused that each of them is actually placed on the planes.

Safety standards in Boeing After last year’s incident, they came under a fierce light in which an unused door crashed from a new 737 Max plane shortly after flying.

The incident, which occurred five years after two previous catastrophic incidents that occurred at 737 Maxs, brought a fierce investigation into the company’s quality control condition at the factory.

Last year, the company appointed the new CEO, who is a veteran Peshmerga in the industry, Kelly Ortberg, and has produced a detailed work plan to resolve concerns raised by the organizers on the issue of the factory’s land.

In response to the request, Boeing issued a brief statement.

“We are saddened by the death of John Barnett and we extend our condolences to his family,” the statement said.

but before,, The company supports the charges “Boeing reviewed and resolved the quality problems that Mr. Barnet raised before retirement in 2017, as well as other quality issues mentioned in the complaint,” he told the BBC.

He also drew attention to a decision previously in the Barnet case, in 2020, in which the US Directorate of Professional Safety and Health concluded that the company did not violate the law on the protection of information.

“We appreciate the employees who raise their voices, and we have a system to encourage them to speak secretly or without name,” he said.
