Over the years, Boeing CEOs have tended to be lawyers or engineers. Bill Allen was a lawyer. Thornton Wilson was an engineer. Frank Shrontz was a lawyer. Phil Condit (berf) was an engineer. Harry Stonecipher was an engineer, but came up at GE, and was infected with Welchism. Jim McNerney, Welchite. Dennis Muilenburg, engineer, took the fall for the 73 Max. David Calhoun, beancounter and Welchite.
And now, positioned to be the next CEO, another beancounter.
