Calhoun was CEO during the near-deadly current disaster, and was a chairman during the previous deadly ones. He's also on his way out, kept around to negotiate with the unions and catch all the negative PR that will come out of it, and not to give a bad start to the future CEO. Both him and Muillenberg (previous CEO and career engineer before someone says "they just have to put engineers back in charge") need to spend a few years in prison for killing and nearly killing people. Hopefully this will provide the necessary boost to Boeing fixing their culture.
