Exactly. Nobody wants the job. Unfixable. Firing the fat that we have hired the last few years will not happen. Glad I was able to experience Boeing when it was fun, challenging, people worked as a team and took pride in what we did. Now it’s just people on there phones all day collecting a paycheck. Kind of feel sorry for the younger folks that are actually hardworking and want to make a difference. No future here anymore. Turn out the lights.
MORE Dark Days ahead !!!! Boeing got rid of him once for being an id--t. All they are doing is hiring a person just as crooked as calhoun / mcnerney only younger !!!
Another POS corrupt Boeing nepo executive.
100% remote work from home.
Indeed, there is that affiliation with the king of corruption too.
Isn't that the guy that had major family drama causing him to withdraw from Trumps nomination to lead the Pentagon?
Sounds perfect for the job
A failed ex Boeing nepo executive who then became a failed CEO from a failed Boeing supplier. Yep, sounds like the perfect next CEO for the failed Boeing company.
Anyone with those credentials is just a greedy, rich executive wannabe. Having worked with this clown back when he was an engineer at Boeing, he was the opposite of a brilliant and capable engineer, manager or executive. Of course this was when Boeing actually had brilliant and capable engineers, managers and executives before they were replaced with "team players" AKA "BS Merchants" and "Yes Men". This clown also got lots blame from these former Boeing brilliant and capable engineers, managers and VPs:

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter who becomes CEO. You can't compete in aerospace without experienced, knowledgeable and passionate employees. Boeing tossed that away during the last couple decades to enrich their executives. And it would take a couple decades to remedy that now if it is even possible. So it seems unrealistic to think Boeing will be coming back.
Didn't Spirit ship fuselages with poor quality and unfinished parts to Boeing?
Why would we want another CEO from a poorly (quality) run company to take over?
This would be good news, IF Calhoun were actually leaving. He’s not. He’ll still be on the board.
Just more of the Boeing two-step.
I would do it for $35 million a year.
He grew up in Seattle, Washington, where he graduated from Bishop Blanchet High School in 1980.
He attended the University of Washington where he earned a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in mechanical engineering.
He then earned a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in mechanical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Master of Business Administration
(MBA) from the MIT Sloan School of Management.
Shanahan joined Boeing in 1986, becoming involved in Computer Services and the Boeing 777 program.[3] Over the course of his career, he held management roles with respect to the Boeing Missile Defense Systems, as well as 737, 747, 767, 777, and 787 commercial airline programs.[17] He also played a role spearheading the recovery of Boeing's 787 program,[18] and was known there as "Mr. Fix-it" from as early as 2008.
Shanahan served Boeing Commercial Airplanes as vice president and general manager of the Boeing 757 program, with responsibility for the design, production, and profitability of the 757 family of planes.
He also held leadership positions on the Boeing 767 program and in the fabrication division.
IMHO
He is a solid choice.
Adding to that, no one from outside would touch that job with a mile long pole.
Nobody wants it.
