Sounds a lot like the NYT got a hold of the anon Boeing employee commenter from last week, and verified their employment and story. In case anyone missed the multiple duplicate HN postings from this person's comments- https://leehamnews.com/2024/01/15/unplanned-removal-installation-inspection-procedure-at-boeing/#comment-509962 https://leehamnews.com/2024/01/15/unplanned-removal-installa...

  I did not see where the time New York times verified the whistleblowers employment and story. It was more a reference to the Seattle times article and some surrounding hoopla...

    The NYT source: according to a person familiar with the matter. Not the Seattle Times (though it could be the same source).

      Was that not the whistleblower?

        I have no idea. Maybe it's someone at Boeing, or the FAA, or Alaska Air, or somewhere else.

  I want to point out how awesome that is: Instead of another Internet rumor - most of which are nonsense - someone actually went out and verified it - someone paid, because who else has time to do it - and now we have actual knowledge. The difference between professional media and 'social media'.

  That was the story that kept nosediving, because folks assumed it was fiction (TBH, I was skeptical, myself). Then it would pop back up, then back down.
