> “As a quality manager at Boeing, you’re the last line of defense before a defect makes it out to the flying public,” Mr. Barnett told The Times in 2019. “And I haven’t seen a plane out of Charleston yet that I’d put my name on saying it’s safe and airworthy.”

@bryanjclark it's all so grim even before you get to the "deposition left unresolved with whistleblower found dead" angle. oof.
