J-150 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Fields is probably happy. This will take the pressure off of him. This new guy sticks around for 2 or 3 years and then Fields in the new CEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius1701 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Alan Mullaly is a good choice-did great job with Boeing Commercial Aircraft Division. Seems to be the right fit. Time will tell. (fingers crossed here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpmaster Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Alan Mullaly is a good choice-did great job with Boeing Commercial Aircraft Division. Seems to be the right fit. Time will tell. (fingers crossed here) Yep. According to his bio, he's an engineer by training (and not a "business-school" type); something Billy, Fields, Nasser, etc. are not. Keep all fingers and toes crossed! Edited September 5, 2006 by Pumpmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read "End of the Line" for the inside on how Boeing does business. They specialize on whipsawing entire nations, the carrot being the possibility that Boeing will allow the individual nations a slice of the pie, contracts to build major components for the aircraft they assemble in Washington. Japan builds engines, Boeing gets contracts for sales to JAL. Read the book, what may be good for the market is not necessarily good for UAW workers.

Good point, SJ; Mulally IS a capitalist CEO---just like the rest of 'em. He answers to Wall St. moneychangers, not the company's employees. The old saw, "the more things change, the more they stay the same" will probably apply here, too. We'll stay tuned. P.S. keep on' cuttin' davdog; it's hilarious!

I hope something good comes out of this don't count on it...analysis on CNBC were saying it won't make much difference.....this guy is from a total different industry...Boeing has only 1 competitor world-wide.....plus it's an industry with a very long lead time..very much unlike the auto industry....just another mistake made by the leadership of this company!

F150MANBDV Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I hope this doesn't dealy our buyout packages. 9 OR 10 days away from the announcement from board of directors. Jr. will still be there and the family still owns the majority stake. The buyouts are "baked in"....this guy wont have any affect on the buyouts.
