Southwest Airlines free pass on inspections becomes deadly …

Or, a threat of that to a whistleblower has hit the screen.

The wife of Bobby Boutris, the Federal Aviation Administration inspector who became a whistle-blower against the FAA’s lax oversight of its (non)-inspection of Southwest Airlines, reportedly received a veiled death threat against her husband in the mail:

The threat came in the form of an article delivered to Mr. Boutris' wife, which discussed how a woman “gets by when your husband is gone,” according to one federal official who requested anonymity because he wasn't cleared to speak about the probe. An accompanying note suggested the article would be useful to the woman.

Whether someone from Southwest or FAA, I hope they immediately get shit-canned, then prosecuted fully.
