Appeals court sides with Boeing in whistleblower lawsuit

(AP) — A federal appeals court has sided with Boeing and one of its suppliers in the whistleblower lawsuit brought by three ex-workers at the aircraft manufacturer's former plant in Wichita.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed on Monday with a federal judge's decision that the former workers failed to show Boeing defrauded the U.S. government in a $1.6 billion contract.
