From Seattle station KOMO:
Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg to step down immediately
Boeing's CEO is resigning amid ongoing problems at the company over the troubled Max 737 aircraft.
The Chicago manufacturer said Monday that Dennis Muilenburg is stepping down immediately. The board's current chairman David Calhoun will officially take over on January 13.
The board said a change in leadership was necessary to restore confidence in the company as it works to repair relationships with regulators and stakeholders. The Max was grounded worldwide in March after the second of two crashes of its jet, killing a combined total of 346 people.
Good - the 737 was a good airplane until they added a much larger engine and tried to adjust the flight performance in software. Never a good idea. Time for the 737-Max to be consigned to the dustbin of history.
