His harsh rebuke validates allegations against Boeing. FMTNews DaveCalhoun
NEW YORK: Boeing Co Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun said he regretted berating his predecessor in an interview with the New York Times this week, backtracking almost immediately from a harsh critique that rattled employees of the embattled planemaker.
The new boss’s first extensive print interview as CEO left many inside Boeing dumbfounded and angry, said current and former employees. The article spread like wildfire both inside the company and among the wide network of Boeing alumni, and a stunned “wow” was a common response, one of the people said.
“Regarding Dennis, he is a friend, and I was personally invested in his success — and still am,” Calhoun wrote a day later in the memo, which was viewed by Bloomberg News. “If anybody ran over the rainbow for the pot of gold on stock, it would have been him,” Calhoun said of Muilenburg. The array of issues he now must deal with “speaks to the weakness of our leadership,” Calhoun said.
