Another loss for Boeing on top of the 737MAX debacle and Covid-19. I would hate to be their CEO right now.

  Why? He's head of a company that is too big to fail. A company that the federal government has refused to demand a stake in, in order to bail out. No matter what he does, he's going to make $10s of millions of dollars. I would LOVE to be CEO of Boeing right now. And oh, by the way: since he started in Janaury, he can blame literally everything on the previous leadership. Probably one of the most cake jobs in America right now.

    If he wants to run the company into the ground it is a cake job. If he wants to recover the company to the glory days of making things that capture the imagination of the world he has a hard job. The salary of a CEO would be nice but I wouldn't want the jobs. CEOs tend to be workaholics with a poor family life. Even the bad ones spend a lot of time working.

    You may be right, because there are rare cases, but I find it unlikely. Not many human beings go into life aiming to just rip people off and not achieve anything, or aiming to fail at a lot. Especially someone who becomes the CEO of a huge corporation. You have to be quite drive to succeed, not just at your bank balance, to get there. You don’t become CEO of boeing overnight, it probably took a lot of work. I doubt the CEO feels all that good about life right now. And even if you are right, that fact that you’d want the same says a lot about you.

    Correction, he can blame most things on the previous leadership. He can blame everything else on the coronavirus.

  Agreed, i'd rather be the last CEO that caused all of this and still got a golden handjob worth 60 mil.
