Sounds like he's somebody's puppet to me. Why would it be in his interest to make Lockheed Martin pay $50 million to the US Government for each aircraft currently ordered, unless he's getting a cut of the action from someone inside.
I don't doubt it Joe, but he'll be watching his back for a while, I'd say...
I could almost guarantee he'll never work in the aerospace business, at least not for a major prime like Lockheed. It's a really a small community and once you're labeled a whistleblower, especially will little or no merit, it's hard to regain your reputation. I wouldn't say that prime contractors are always innocent, but in the end it's to their interest to meet the contract requirements or face being barred from bidding on future contracts.
No, not at all - if you approach the government you better have your act together and facts straight if this has taken 10 years and he was initially fired over this, something isn't right. Many of these folks who come forward with these complaints are usually disgruntled employees but there are the few that do have a legitimate gripe and I have seen the system work the way it was advertised.So it remains an ethical dilemma. From what you appear to say, nobody should approach the government (or other end user) even if they know their company is lying. That simply cannot be right.
