Boeing whistleblower John Barnett found dead in South Carolina
By Kerry Breen｜March 12, 2024
A former Boeing employee who had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company has been found dead in South Carolina, authorities said.
The death of John Barnett, 62, was confirmed by the Charleston County Coroner. The office said in a news release that he died from "what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound."
Barnett told the BBC in 2019 that he had uncovered serious problems with oxygen systems on the long-haul jet. Boeing said that it had "identified some oxygen bottles received from the supplier that were not deploying properly," the BBC said, but said that none of those defective bottles were ever installed.
Barnett also alleged that sub-standard parts that were set to be discarded were fitted to planes to avoid production delays, the BBC reported, and said that he believed the push to build new aircraft meant a rushed process that compromised passengers' safety. Barnett told the BBC that he had alerted managers to his concerns, but no action was taken. A panel of experts recently criticized Boeing's safety culture, telling the Federal Aviation Administration that there was a "disconnect" between Boeing's senior management and workers, and concerns of retaliation.
Boeing has denied Barnett's allegations, the BBC reported. A 2017 review by the Federal Aviation Administration did find that the location of at least 53 "non-conforming" parts in the North Charleston factory were unknown, mirroring one of Barnett's allegations, and ordered the airline to take remedial action.
Barnett had accused Boeing of denigrating his character and hampering his career. The manufacturer has denied these allegations.

Barnett worked at Boeing for 32 years and retired in 2017, the BBC reported. From 2010 to 2017, he worked as a quality manager at the airplane manufacturer's North Charleston plant. The plant manufactured the 787 Dreamliner, which was the subject of multiple whistleblower complaints.
