Another executive departs as Boeing tries to correct course

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A close adviser to Boeing’s ousted CEO will also leave the company.

Mike Luttig was Boeing’s general counsel from 2006 until this spring.

Shortly after the crash of a second Boeing 737 Max, the companies premiere aircraft, he was assigned to head the company’s legal strategy and to advise the board.

Luttig, who will retire next week, is the latest executive to leave the beleaguered company. In addition to CEO Dennis Muilenburg who was pushed out this week, Kevin McAllister, the head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, was forced out in October. Anne Toulouse, senior vice president of communications, will leave at the end of the year.

1. Can Boeing afford all those golden parachutes?

And isn't it a truism that Captains go down with the ship?

But the top brass wandering off isn't going to do anything for Boeing's reputation and woes, the problem is at the design stage and shop floor, not in the boardroom.
And of course, all those parked planes. And the airlines that can't use them.

3. Oh, I think the problem is square in the boardroom.

The engineers in the design room know how to build a safe plan - just not as cheaply as their
superiors want and order it to be.

2. Maybe somebody should

do some independent research into the backgrounds of Boeing executives to see if they actually merited the positions they held and were qualified to hold them or if they were maybe princelings who inherited large sums of money and used it to buy their way to the top--similar to Dumpy.
