Boeing names Robert 'Kelly' Ortberg as new president and CEO

- retrocryptid 2y agoI was worried Boeing was going to hire a money-guy with no understanding of engineering or why corporate culture is inmportant. But Ortberg apparently has a reputation as being a good engineer (a MechE at that!) leading a company with a good corporate culture. So instead of leaving a snarky comment that gets @dang mad at me, I'll just say I'm hopeful we're at an inflection point for Boeing. I really want to love the company again, they've made it hard to love some of the decisions they've made the last few years (decades?)
