    This whistleblower needs private protection immediately because we all know the last guy didn't commit suicide. Anyone who's flying soon needs to double check which model airplane they're getting on. Absolutely disgusting cover-up.

      Information on how he died. I have not seen the official report. We can all guess.

    Air Canada's statement is an insult: we don't care if you inspect the planes properly or to standard - THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. Boeing gets away with this because they are an arms manufacturer.

    Hope someone is gurding this one because the last Boeing whistle blower John Barnett "commited suicide" the same night he was asked to stay an additional night by Boeing lawyer to allow them to cross examine him the next day. Then we find out a few days before that Bernett told a close friend "im not scared but if I die, Im telling you know its not suicide"....so.

    So basically these airplanes are time-bombs waiting to disintegrate at altitude.

      The pressure the planes are under at attitude is high. There’d be an explosive decompression at altitude when they fail.

    Repeated pressurization events take its toll on the structure of an aircraft which is why they only have a limited lifespan. Only time will tell if his concerns are warranted but I would not want to be on that particular flight that proves this guy right. I will only fly on the DC-3. It's been proven over 75 years.

      🤦🏼‍♀️ This is HUNDREDS, even potentially thousands of innocent people's lives on the line here. Some of these planes that weren't built properly are ticking time bombs. This company chose money over morals and safety, and that's a fact.

    • @Subie-Driver
      @Subie-Driver 2 місяці тому +7

      This is related to the life cycle of the aircraft. The longer it flies…the more likely something will go wrong from these defects. Give it another 10 years and see what happens to these gaps and how they affect the airworthiness of them.
