Probably just nervous about testifying and took the path of least resistance.

He didn't have to testify. He could have just said frick it and that he changed his mind.

Love or hate him, John Oliver's last episode talks about how Boeing stock history shows patterns that can explain some of the issues they have had.

He later told the BBC that workers had failed to follow procedures intended to track components through the factory, allowing defective components to go missing.

He said in some cases, sub-standard parts had even been removed from scrap bins and fitted to planes that were being built to prevent delays on the production line.

He also claimed that tests on emergency oxygen systems due to be fitted to the 787 showed a failure rate of 25%, meaning that one in four could fail to deploy in a real-life emergency.

Mr Barnett said he had alerted managers to his concerns, but no action had been taken



Having worked in a manufacturing facility, I can fully believe the possibility of all of this

John was a gapping asswipe but he wasn't wrong in what he was speaking about.
