Boeing Executive Resignations
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun, chairman Larry Kellner, and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Stan Deal are resigning following a significant shakeup at the company. The resignations are linked to a quality control lapse involving an Alaska Airlines door plug blowout. The NTSB found that a plane left the Boeing factory without critical bolts. Calhoun, who took over after the MAX 8 incidents, is stepping down amidst criticism from airline CEOs. The shakeup includes the retirement of Kellner and Deal, with a relative newcomer, Stephanie Pope, taking on a new role.
