What a weird time, when it's safer to be a war crime whistle blower than an airliner whistleblower.

Weird but pretty much the entirety of human history
Are you sure about that? There were no airliners for most of human history, so how could any statement about airliner whistleblowers stand for "entirety of human history"?
If there are zero airliner whistleblowers then there are no airliner whistleblowers go which it is not happening.

Though, I was referring to just whistleblowers.

Why is this being so heavily down voted? Are people actually that bad at understanding sarcasm?
I think the down votes are more because it’s a low-effort take, and this site (while it continues to slide in that direction, still) isn’t Reddit.
Probably because the first Boeing whistleblower died by suicide and the second Boeing whistleblower died due to a stroke secondary to a respiratory infection. The idea that either of these were murders is a stupid conspiracy theory with no supporting evidence, and it deserves to be heavily downvoted.
