The Boeing Co. will pay its former chief of commercial airplanes more than $800 an hour in consulting fees.
Carson will consult for Boeing until March 2012 under the agreement which provides him with more than $1.5 million, according to regulatory filing. Carson will not work more than 75 hours each month, the SEC filing said.
Last year, Boeing named Jim Albaugh the new president of its commercial airplanes division, retaining Carson until year’s end. Under the agreement filed Wednesday, Carson will “agree to provide assistance to Boeing in the area of commercial airplane products and services” due to Carson’s “extensive and unique knowledge and experience with Boeing’s commercial airplane business.”
