Perhaps these concerns will now be explored more fully. As SLF, can only hope Boeing is in the clear on this.
the AlJazera article reports that the whistleblowers took their concerns to the US Justice Department because it has a legal responsibility to protect whistleblowers..
Further down in the article it reports that these whistleblowers lost their jobs.
it would be of interest to establish the reason why they lost their jobs and whether the DOJ investigated given their legal responsibility to protect whistleblowers.
