Boeing’s current CEO, Dave Calhoun, is said to be stepping down by December after scandals surrounding the quality of the airline’s safety, BBC reported.
This development is in line with the six-month term given to Stan Deal, who serves as head of the commercial airlines division, and Larry Kellner who has no intention of running for the chairman’s seat.
The airline is facing scrutiny after a potential problem in January when an old door blew off a Boeing 737 Max shortly after takeoff, which defied new inspections of the company’s safety and quality standards.
Stewart Glickman of CFRA Research pointed to the need to make changes to the corporate leadership, namely those that have been installed in the company since time immemorial, and Boeing has remained unchanged for a long time, and they insist on being brave and courageous. a visionary leader to solve these deep issues.
At the beginning of 2020, David Calhoun became chief executive to succeed Dennis Muilenburg who had to be scapegoated due to one of the crises in the company’s history.
While Calhoun made an early promise to create a culture of safety and regain the trust, a recent incident with an Alaska Airlines flight underscores that some issues are yet to be addressed.
The investigation began at the emergency exit door where the safety regulations were implemented, and because of this, criminal charges and a lawsuit were filed against the wrongful parties.
Calhoun showed how Boeing can use honesty and the horror of what’s to come (to restore their reputation) by being transparent and being humble.
