This is a huge resignation. Boeing is a behemoth in the military-industrial complex.
Yeah, and that whistleblower that conveniently "died" before his deposition.... things are connected and I have no doubt this "step down" was part of some habbenings.
On every recent youtube video relating to Boeing, nearly every single comment calls out the suspicious circumstances. Everyone knows what happened to that whistleblower.
Boeing is a crazy company. Growing up in Seattle lots of neighbors and dads of my friends were Boeing guys. The military side of Boeing is shady as hell they all said. I forgot what the nickname they had for that side of things but it was basically a separate company in the same company.
But yeah when guys like them got replaced by DEI and MBA’s or retired due to the jabs that’s when the company went to shit.
It’s like replacing military officers with lots of combat experience with people straight from West Point with no combat experience.
Replacing battle tested sergeants with 2nd Lieutenants right out of school.
Boeing has some good PR to avoid what Lockheed and Martin go through and Raytheon.
All 3 of these guys are financial people. No aviation person amongst them. No engineer. No pilot. No development or flight test experience.. Boeing has changed.
That's the problem with most companies these days. Financial people running companies where they know absolutely nothing about the product and have no connection to it. All they know is business and how to get as much money from whatever company they are running/ruining before they resign and move on to the next one. I would love to see the golden parachute these Boeing guys are getting.
Same as the music industry. Brown counters and lawyers have financialized the entire economy. Everything is about the next quarter profit no longer term vision.
The Chinese have said the biggest weakness of American businessmen is that they think quarter to quarter. Not decade to decade.
On a flight test team, avionics engineers are the smartest. Scary smart. And they need to be. When I heard Boeing was farming out avionics to Indian engineers for less money, I would bet the farm that's what happened to the dreamliner. Sadly. A lot of people bought the farm because of this utter stupidity.
I know this is a spicy take, but letting finance people manage finance isnt a dumb thing. Keeping them reigned in is the issue many companies end up having
Nothing spicy about it. In aviation the only thing that counts is a good product. You trade safety for savings, there's a lot of innocent people paying the price. Safety first.
I only said 'spicy' because a lot of the comments seem genuinely angry that companies employ people with different talents and skills to handle different jobs, and not everyone understands all the minutae of everything involved with the company.
There is a good point about a CEO being completely oblivious and ignorant of the product a company produces, but expecting to have expert level knowledge is more than a little silly.
Hopefully my PUTs well get me some $!
Do you think it's safe to even fly right now? Was considering a vacation in a couple months.
No
are you me? Mine will print!

Ah yes. Another CIA asset who they used so much, he became a liability.
He'll be suicided shortly as well.
So I googled him and his wiki page showed up where his wife is referred to as his partner. I thought he was gay for a minute. And the first pic that shows up, he was wearing a mask. All these things are irrelevant on his own but maybe a sign from universe he's a L-tard
Like the joke about the sunken liner with a thousand lawyers on board, this is a good start. Or at least a necessary start. It's one thing to remove people. It's another thing to remove bad policy, or reverse board strategy based on "shareholder value" (i.e., the self-serving wishes of the largest shareholders).
My concern now is that there will be no rethinking of corporate policy and strategy, but there will be an obsessive attempt to "inspect in" quality. At the higher management levels, they have become so used to "traveled work," that it would be traumatic to actually hew to the defined quality standards for program progress.
Or the "we definitely murdered a whistleblower" thing?
