(WJET/WFXP) — Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s office announced on Tuesday that a current Boeing employee has come forward as a whistleblower just hours before Boeing’s CEO, David Calhoun, is set to begin his testimony on Capital Hill. Blumenthal’s office identified the employee as Sam Mohawk, a Quality Assurance inspector in Renton, Washington. Mohawk claims that Boeing has been improperly documenting, tracking, and storing what are known as ‘nonconforming parts.’ These parts are those that are either damaged or out of specification. Sometimes these parts are even used and installed onto aircraft, according to Blumenthal’s office. But instead of asking what has caused Boeing’s safety culture to erode, you and your colleagues in the C-suite have deflected blame, looked the other way, and catered to your shareholders instead,” according to Blumenthal’s planned opening statement.
