boeing: décès d'un second lanceur d'alerte en moins de deux mois

La flotte de la compagnie américaine United Airlines comporte plusieurs dizaines de Boeing 737 Max 9

Un deuxième décès en moins de deux mois. Après le suicide d’un ancien employé de Boeing, John Barnett, début mars, c’est un autre personne qui avait critiqué les problèmes de qualité chez le constructeur aéronautique américain qui vient de décéder. Joshua Dean, 45 ans, a été emporté par une “infection soudaine à propagation rapide” écrit Le Parisien, citant un article du Seattle Times.

Un des premiers lanceurs d’alerte du 737 Max

Cet ancien contrôleur qualité chez un sous-traitant de Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, est présenté comme l’un des premiers lanceurs d’alerte dans le scandale de dissimulation des défauts de fabrication du 737 Max.

Le Seattle Times décrit Joshua Dean comme un homme jusque-là en bonne santé, avec un “mode de vie sain”, mais qui a dû mené des examens médicaux après le déclenchement d’importantes difficultés respiratoires. En moins de deux semaines, il est emporté par une pneumonie couplée à une grave infection bactérienne. Un scanner montre qu’il a aussi subi un accident vasculaire cérébral.

En procédure de licenciement abusif

Joshua Dean avait été licencié par son employeur l’an dernier et avait engagé une procédure pour licenciement abusif, en raison des questions qu’il avait soulevées autour de la sécurité aérienne. En 2022, il avait expliqué avoir découvert un grave défaut de fabrication sur le 737 Max, des trous mal percés dans des cloisons de pressurisation. Son employeur aurait cherché à minimiser ces défauts constatés.

“Il est connu chez Spirit que si vous faites trop de bruit et causez trop de problèmes, vous serez muté”, avait notamment déclaré Joshua Dean au Wall Street Journal en janvier dernier, rappelle Le Parisien.

Rien n’indique pour le moment qu’il y aurait un lien entre les deux décès, a tenu à rappeler Brian Knolwles, l’avocat qui représente ces deux personnes en attendant de consulter le dossier des enquêteurs.
