CEO Dave Calhoun will step down at the end of 2024 in part of a broad management shake-up for the embattled aerospace giant.

Larry Kellner, chairman of the board, will not stand for reelection at Boeing’s annual meeting in May, Boeing said Monday. He will be succeeded as chair by Steve Mollenkopf, who has been a Boeing director since 2020 and is a former CEO of Qualcomm. Mollenkopf will lead the board in picking a new CEO, Boeing said.

Ye olde fuck everything up for short term gains, pull the ripcord on your golden parachute and let someone else clean up the mess/bury the victims. Tale as old as time.

That's the face of a man looking forward to a nice pot of tea and a sit beside an open window.

 

[willothedog]

don't let the door hit you on the way out

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

Hope he rides a 737 MAX on his way out

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Did he order the hit?

 

[Rentahamster]

He's making the "I cheated on my wife" face.

 

[ProtoByte]

Did he order the hit?

It wouldn't be him. Only the lobbyists and state employees (see: not public officials) in DC would have the connections and gall for that.

 

[AJUMP23]

They lost one a couple years ago too during the 737 max.

*is stepping down after receiving a muli-million dollar buyout package.

 

[Billbofet]

Wonder if he'll commit suicide.......

 

[Dirk Benedict]

He's taking the heat for the entire company. Shit.. I can't... whatever.

Planes fall down due to shit software. Doors get pulled out mid-flight.

Enjoy your massive, undeserved golden parachute, you cunt.

 

[SJRB]

These people should be behind bars, honestly.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Same as anywhere unfortunately. But totally agree.

Our council has gone bust here (no politics) but part of the cost cutting measures they've still signed off their bonuses!!

 

[TheDreadLord]

My filter when searching for tickets is to select whatever -boeing planes

 

[RagnarokIV]

At that level it doesn’t matter and he can do whatever he wants.

Not like he’ll be living in a tin house in Bradford. World is fucked.

 

[mitch1971]

Enjoy your massive, undeserved golden parachute, you cunt.

Hopefully it doesn't open.

 

[winjer]

Not to worry, tax payers will pay for another bailout.

 

[Woggleman]

They need to put the next person in there with the specific purpose of restoring Boeing the company it once was. They also need to open up an investigation into the death of that guy who has found dead. I know some people don't like regulations but basic safety is a standard all companies should follow.

 

[Yoda]

Watch his replacement be worse.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Kind of hard when the door exits before the executive.

 

[Chittagong]

This is the guy brought in to sort the Max crises. He didn’t even impact the surface.

 

[Any Questions]

This company has been responsible for hiding it's guilt in murdering people due to it's cost cutting. And no doubt people associated with this company murdered it's own whistle-blower.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Ryanair said they found a spanner just rolling around in a non-passenger section on a delivery acceptance flight from Paine field.

Yet this is okay.

How did it come to this for Boeing? Cost cutting or too much sub-contracting?

Southwest Boeing 737-800 flight from Denver loses engine cover, FAA investigating

What the hell is going on with the planes these days?

poor safety checks and maintenance. Cut cost and poor training. Reduced inspections.

They're not exactly looking for the best either....

it was a bird strike. Has nothing to do with QA or maintenance.

 

[SlimySnake]

I say nationalize Boeing because any CEO who replaces this guy will be making decisions for the shareholders. Constant need for Growth is how we got here and it will never go away.

It will create its own set of problems because at least decisions won’t be made because they put safety over profits.

They're basically nationalized with the bailouts, but having them more under government thumb will just take any of their issues longer to fix. I have a friend who works at a shipyard, and the logistics are a nightmare
