Funny. He doesn't look like a DIE hire. Normal name and everything. Maybe he's a queer.

Boeing named a longtime aerospace industry veteran on Wednesday as its next chief executive, who will take over a company that has been rocked by legal, regulatory and production problems.
Robert “Kelly” Ortberg, a former CEO at Boeing supplier Rockwell Collins, will succeed David Calhoun as CEO and president effective Aug. 8, the company said. Calhoun announced in March that he would retire at the end of the year, and analysts generally praised the quicker transition.
Boeing named its new CEO as it reported a loss of more than $1.4 billion on falling revenue during the second quarter. The loss was wider and revenue lower than Wall Street expected, as both Boeing's commercial-airplanes business and defense unit lost money.
The disappointing results come at a tumultuous time for Boeing. The company agreed to plead guilty this month to a federal fraud charge in connection with its 737 Max jetliner and two crashes that killed 346 people. The Federal Aviation Administration increased its oversight of the company after the blowout of a panel on an Alaska Airlines jet raised manufacturing quality concerns.
Boeing Chairman Steven Mollenkopf said Ortberg was chosen after a “thorough and extensive search process” and “has the right skills and experience to lead Boeing in its next chapter.” Ortberg has earned a reputation for running complex engineering and manufacturing companies, Mollenkopf said.

They should have picked Nikki.
She could have done a nationwide search to make sure there were no Confederate flags hidden in any closets in Boeing factories.
She knows how to win!
Lol.
Amazing! An old, white, engineer!
There is hope for this company after all!
They passed over caroline kennedy???????
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Ground control to Major Tom . . .
Most likely.
This is a shocking and fortunate development. Boeing named someone as CEO with a record of success in the aerospace industry.
Maybe there is hope.
A white man??? Oh no. Obviously the company is doomed without a black lesbian transexual.
Those old white engineers are so boring. Look at all they accomplished. No one wants to just sit comfortably on an airplane from point A to point B, or ride on a submarine 2000 feet underwater without SOME kind of catastrophe to make it exciting and diverse.
Maybe they got the message ...
