<h3 id="boeing-ceo-to-step-down-by-end-of-2024">Boeing CEO to Step Down by End of 2024</h3> 
<p>In announcing his departure, Calhoun emphasized the <a href="https://tokenist.com/boeing-now-the-second-worst-performer-in-the-sp-500-ytd-only-behind-tesla/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">global scrutiny on the company</a>, stating, “The eyes of the world are on us. We are going to fix what isn’t working, and we are going to get our company back on the track towards recovery and stability.”</p> 
<p>The company also revealed that Larry Kellner, Boeing’s chairman, will not seek re-election as a board director, and former <a href="https://tokenist.com/these-three-blue-chip-stocks-are-trading-at-a-steep-discount/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">Qualcomm</a> (NASDAQ: QCOM) CEO Steve Mollenkopf has been elected to succeed him. Additionally, Stan Deal, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, is retiring, with Stephanie Pope, Boeing’s COO since January, set to replace him effective immediately.</p> 
<p>The leadership shakeup comes amidst a <a href="https://tokenist.com/boeing-vs-airbus-stock-which-one-is-a-safer-hold-for-the-long-term/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">tumultuous period for Boeing</a>, which has faced over five years of issues with its airplanes.</p> 
<p>The company has been grappling with the fallout from <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/01/06/alaska-airlines-incident-boeing-737-max-crashes-2018-2019/" class="deco-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">two fatal crashes</a> of the 737 Max in 2018 and 2019, resulting in the loss of 346 lives. More recently, an Alaska Airlines 737 Max experienced an incident where a door plug blew out during flight.</p> 
<p>These problems have led to multiple groundings, safety concerns, and staggering financial losses, with Boeing incurring over $31 billion in cumulative losses. <br><br>In a letter addressing the Alaska Airlines (NYSE: ALK) incident, CEO Calhoun described it as “a watershed moment for Boeing” and reiterated the company’s commitment to resolving issues and restoring stability, echoing the sentiments expressed in his departure announcement.</p>
