I think airbus is really their only competitor, at least in the commercial airline arena.
Airbus would have to decide that a) they would get away with it, b) Boeing would get blamed and that c) the ambiguous death is way worse for Boeing than just letting the guy testify.
A and b are in conflict as if they hide their involvement too well it looks like a suicide and no corporation gets blamed. And if it turns out that his testimony wasn’t worthy of killing someone?
Well, the problem I see with making a murder look like a suicide is that it can be automatically suspicious if the victim said something along the lines of “if I die it wasn’t suicide”. Probably even if there was video evidence of it being legit. Why not make the death look like an accident instead? I’ve never murdered somebody, but I don’t think making the death look like an accident is that much more difficult than making it look like a suicide.
What’s your point? I know the guy in question is said to have suggested someone would try to kill him and make it appear as a suicide. Why would Boeing or Airbus for that matter be aware of those statements?
Sure accidents are great but if you just decide to off someone quickly it’s not like you can shadow them for weeks and wait for them to climb onto their roof or something. Dude was at a hotel all week 🤷

I’m sort of wondering how difficult it is to stage a convincing suicide vs a convincing accident, and I think the latter might be easier.
I think if you have time to scope them out and their lifestyle
