How many people would, if they suddenly died, be reported as a "Boeing whistleblower"? The lower this number is, the more surprising the death.



What if it's a giant company with a lot of problems? Couldn't there be a ton of whistleblowers? It's easy to suspect foul play, but I don't know how pneumonia subsequent to MRSA infection could be deployed as a weapon of assassination. And I'd imagine that every part of being a whistleblower is depressing; you are inevitably alienated from one of your main social groups when you do so.


Reports say there were seven whistleblowers in the original 737 Max hearing.


It also ought to be pretty shocking, if things are so bad at Boeing that multiple whistleblowers dying is just an expected thing as a result of statistics.

I mean that’s probably the more likely story than MRSA corporate assassins. But it is still pretty nuts, right?
