The circumstances surrounding Barnett's death continue to be under investigation, and his passing has left many questioning the aerospace industry's commitment to safety and transparency. Buttigieg's statement about Boeing's responsibility to cooperate has further amplified the urgency for the company to address the concerns raised by Barnett and ensure a safe working environment for its employees and the quality of its aircraft.
