How many Boeing whistleblowers are there?
Sen. Richard Blumenthal on Tuesday gave a hint about how many Boeing whistleblowers there are. “We have more than a dozen whistleblowers by this point, and we encourage more to come forward,” the senator said early in the hearing.
And a memo by committee staff on Boeing – clocking in at more than 200 pages with attachments – mentions the range of people who have stepped forward, as well.
“Since opening the inquiry, the Subcommittee has received outreach from additional whistleblowers in the aviation industry, including individuals with firsthand knowledge of Boeing’s operations and policies, who have come forward with new information about additional safety risks stemming from Boeing’s manufacturing practices,” the memo reads.
“Some whistleblowers who have come forward to the Subcommittee wish to remain anonymous, but others have either spoken out publicly or are willing to have their stories be public for the first time.”
