A new chief executive takes over at Boeing on Thursday, and he plans to walk the floor of the factory near Seattle that has become the heart of the aerospace giant's troubles.

Robert "Kelly" Ortberg takes over a money-losing company that has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud, is struggling fix its aircraft-manufacturing process, and can't bring two astronauts home from the International Space Station because of flaws in a spacecraft it built for NASA.

Boeing announced Ortberg's selection just over a week ago, on the same day that it posted another huge loss; more than $1.4 billion in the second quarter, which was marked by a steep drop in deliveries of new airline planes, including the 737 Max.

    Lets hope he can focus on workmanship and zero failure more so than the profits of Blackrock. The last guy endangered customers in planes and astronauts in space while making a yearly salary higher than some third world countries. Obscene would be an understatement for compensation of a CEO that oversaw and got away with hundreds of deaths. Lets keep our fingers crossed on this one. 🤞

    Le's hope he puts safety and business above wokeness and that DEI BS.
