They gave Muilenberg $62 million when they fired him...
The joke of this is, whatever “savings” Boeing thought it was generating by this lowest cost contracting out and endless financial based cost cutting, has been dwarfed by just this one payout.
Prioritizing financials, rather than safety and engineering excellence, fails on its own terms.
But they keep doing it because it seems to work in the short term, and douches like Calhoun and Muilenberg keep getting big payouts based on it.
