Pick your favorite news source, it's on all of them. The big deal is that Calhoun is resigning effective at the end of the calendar year.
I feel like a CEO change is sometimes what's needed to turn the page on the news cycle, regardless of other information. The CEO can become the public face of a company's problems and moving on can put a company in a better place in the public's mind, whether that is factually accurate or not. I feel like Boeing is in this sort of situation where the public is hungry for a big head to roll, regardless of whether that will fix the issue or not.
Also out effective immediately is Stan Deal, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
As noted in many places, Boeing does not seem the same as the Boeing of old. We will see if this change in leadership produces positive results for their airline customers and for the public as a whole.
I personally think they need to move the HQ back to Seattle to be closest to their bread and butter commercial airplanes business, but with the acknowledgement that their higest value customer is very close to the current HQ location.
