While I feel sorry for Mr. Mix, destroying evidence in a high profile situation, especially after the feds instructed not to is just plain stupid. If he did that of his own volition, he wasn't very smart. If he was instructed to and complied, it's time to start singing.

Oh I completely blame him. I just don't see why someone would take part in a cover up for a company in the first place.
Well, having worked in major oil companies, I sort of understand what he was probably thinking. When someone is extremely insecure in their position, they do crazy things that at the time seems reasonable. I've seen it happen, but fortunately I've always been too stubborn to bend my own ethics and rules. The sad thing is he's likely a nice guy who thought he was doing the best to save his job, but now they have an excuse to hang lots of stuff on him and there's not much any company could do to help. I agree with your subject, totally, by the way. Never compromise your own ethics for anyone or any company. Never, ever.

I started my working life as an Avionics Tech and one thing that was drilled into us from day 1 was to never deviate from manufacturers specs and processes as to do so would open us up to legal charges if the component was deemed to be the cause of a crash, in 8 years I only had a manager want me to cut corners once as apparently it was very urgent but when told that they would have to sign the paperwork and take responsibility for the airworthiness of the component it wasn't that urgent.
