Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun goes away at the end of the year. Boeing Chairman Larry Kellner steps down in May. Stan Deal, who runs the Boeing Commercial Airplanes division, is out as of today. It’s a corporate management bloodbath for the troubled aviation giant. “As you all know, the […]
Boeing CEO David Calhoun will step down from the embattled plane maker at the end of the year as part of a broad management shakeup after a series of mishaps at one of America’s iconic manufacturers. Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing‘s commercial airplanes unit, will retire immediately. Stephanie Pope, the company’s chief operating […]
Boeing’s very public problems have continued apace since the nearly disastrous mid-air blowout one of its planes experienced on January 5 of this year. We already knew that multiple investigations were ongoing, both internally and by the government. But now the FBI has gotten involved, apparently in a very official capacity. Passengers who were on […]
There’s more bad news for Boeing. The aircraft manufacturer is either having a run of bad luck or is suffering from internal rot like so many once-iconic corporations.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it’s giving Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality problems and meet safety standards for building planes after a panel blew off a brand-new Boeing 737 Max jetliner last month. The agency said the directive followed all-day meetings Tuesday with top Boeing officials at […]
Boeing’s troubles with their 737 MAX series of aircraft appear to be continuing, despite many of the planes having already been returned into service.

Boeing reported another problem with fuselages on its 737 jets that might delay deliveries of about 50 aircraft in the latest quality gaff to plague the manufacturer. Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal said in a letter to Boeing staff seen Monday that a worker at its supplier discovered misdrilled holes in fuselages. Spirit AeroSystems, […]
Another day, another headline about serious safety issues at the once-great aircraft company called Boeing. There’s a much bigger story here, but I’ll get to that momentarily.
