Boeing Reaches Confidential Settlement With Family of Whistleblower John Barnett

The family of John Barnett, a former Boeing quality manager turned whistleblower who died under suspicious circumstances last year, has reached a confidential settlement with the aerospace giant in a wrongful death lawsuit. A Washington state judge formally dismissed the case this week after court documents confirmed that both parties had agreed to a resolution outside of court. The terms of the settlement remain sealed and are not being disclosed to the public.

Barnett, 62, was found dead in March 2023 in his vehicle near a hotel in Charleston, South. . .
