I get the sentiment, but I much prefer this to the alternative, which is rank and file employees getting laid off. It’s much better to have accountability that starts at the top and then trickles down. Too often it feels like workers are the only ones who suffer from the bad decisions of executive leadership.

But it doesn't start at the top, it starts at the middle.

  VP and GM are not middle manager titles at Boeing.

I don't think the rank-and-file are out of the woods yet. As far as this specific departure, he was a VP of the 737MAX program and for 2.x years at that. I presume there are equivalents for the rest of the 737 line and then for the 777, 787, etc. This does not even touch the rest of Boeing. Yes, he's a large fish but I don't see him as one of the truly big fishes. FWIW, I am not for or against this guy, I have no idea if he's part of the solution or prolonging the problem.
