    I am curious, what would be the point of killing him besides payback?

    It’s to instill terror. It sets an example to others that might come forwards with more.

    There are a lot of workers who will know more about this but every single one of them will be wary that saying anything will result in this now.

        My assumption would be that the company has a lot of contractual commitments with other companies. They could be buried in lawsuits or contracts they have could become void.

          Yeah just because the US government’s regulatory enforcement is neutered doesn’t mean United Airlines lawyers can’t pounce on breaches of contract and extract shitloads of money

            The biggest one would be sales that they’ve made but not yet fulfilled becoming void due to potential breaches of contract I assume. Or everyone with existing sold planes wanting money back.
