Boeing CEO Calhoun to step down in management shakeup amid safety crisis

March 25 (Reuters) - Boeing Co CEO Dave Calhoun will step down by year-end, in a broad management shakeup brought on by the planemaker's sprawling safety crisis stemming from a January mid-air panel blowout on a 737 MAX plane.

The planemaker also said that Stan Deal, Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO, would retire, and Stephanie Pope would lead that business. Steve Mollenkopf has been appointed the new chair of the board.

Calhoun's has been under pressure ever since the Jan. 5 incident, when a door plug ripped off an Alaska Airlines flight about 16,000 feet above the ground. The company is facing heavy regulatory scrutiny and U.S. authorities curbed production while it attempts to fix safety and quality issues.

But their commitment to DEI will remain twice as strong. Watch.

I imagine Boeing will hire an illegal alien for its new CEO.

Well, what goes up must come down. Not too good when it’s an airliner though. The solution is to recruit and promote unqualified, undereducated, unskilled quota hires. Yep, that’s what Boeing needs to do.

Now that they’ve proven what happens to those who talk, getting rid of people is much safer.

Very possible. The DEI infection enters a company through its board of directors and, until there is a purging of DEI believers on the board, the board dodges the problem by playing musical chairs with favored DEI executives.

Well OK, but this guy’s mismanagement was not the underlying cause.

DEI is hurting minorities beyond the obvious Peter Principle effect. Seeing the quality of people getting jobs and promotions pursuant to DEI, one might wonder if there just aren’t any competent people that qualify for affirmative action since the criteria seems to deliberately eschew merit. Or does minority status of candidates also require adherence to idiotic wokeness as well? That would subordinate competence to third place. It just gets worse and worse.

40 years ago, my Dad was telling me stories about how the local NAACP was on him to hire more minorities (He ran a research division at Westingouse R&D). He told them "Get me some qualified minorities and I'll be happy to hire them!" Eventually, I guess they moved on to an easier target.

Ted Culbert, a black man, will get the job. That idiot got promoted from CIO to CEO of Boeing Global Services and his first slide introducing himself was “I am African! I am Diversity!”. He was born in Boston.

This is far more than just a door falling off, China is really wanting to sell planes to the US and knocking Boeing down is a big part of that.
With the Biden administration pushing for it, and knowing Trump would instantly fight it tooth and nail, this is an orchestrated smear campaign lately against them for every single thing they can use.

Now the FBI and DOJ is weighing in on it as well -
