BOEING


Company in need of a real leader

Amazing how many fingers have been pointed around since Boeing made the decision to move the second line to South Carolina.

The truth is Boeing has not had a leader at the top since Alan Mulally left. When you are in the leadership role at your company and the price of your stock continues to tumble, you have an unhappy work force and you continually blame others for the failure of your airplane not getting built on time, your days at the top are normally numbered.

It will be happy days for all of us in the Northwest when the board of directors has finally had enough of the blame game and sends the current man in charge to his next job, wherever that may be. Maybe he can get a job in South Carolina working for their “right to work state” for 30-40 grand a year, which is twice what he is worth.
