- Boeing has said there’s no documents of work done on the door plug that came off an Alaska Airlines 737 Max.
- Ed Pierson, a former Boeing manager, testified that another whistleblower gave him these documents.
- Although the NTSB chair said she believes these are different documents than the ones it’s looking for.
A Boeing whistleblower said there is a “criminal coverup” surrounding January’s Alaska Airlines blowout.
Ed Pierson was one of four people who testified Wednesday in front of the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Pierson was a senior manager at Boeing’s 737 factory and retired in 2018, before the first Max 8 crash.
He has consistently raised concerns that the narrowbody jet is unsafe and says he once got off a 737 Max before it took off when he realized which plane model he had boarded.
