While it sounds like there are problems, and they should be investigated, taking the word of a one (or even a few) whistleblower on something like this should be taken with skepticism. Everything involving airplanes extremely complex, and most people work on very specific parts. Most engineers work on very specific parts of it (like any field).

It's like a doctor coming out and saying "this drug, procedure, etc is completely worthless!". It takes more than a few single individuals to assess the problems or efficacy of things.

We should push for the government to investigate, but journalism pieces like this just erode trust when their headline is a single person is saying the equivalent of "SHUT IT ALL DOWN, TRUST ME". We have no idea what his role, skill set, or knowledge of all this is.
