Boeing's CEO is gone...8 months too late
I've taken every opportunity since April 2019 to call out Boeing for its terrible handling of the Max 8 crisis. Today, two days before Christmas (to tuck in the bad news before the holidays), the company fired its CEO. I always say that down the road, the public will judge a company less on the specific circumstances of the crisis and much more on how they handled it. There's no excuse for a company this large, prominent and wealthy to mishandle a crisis this badly and for this long. The firing of the CEO is the latest milestone but there are many chapters yet to play out with this one.
