Boeing’s largest union says it will strike if contract negotiations fail
Washington PostJUL 2024
In this extremely difficult period, Boeing couldn't have done better than naming Ortberg as the next CEO. A mechanical engineer who built one of the aviation industry's most respected suppliers, his reputation is excellent and he has all the skills necessary to turn the company around.
While Ortberg has a good résumé, it's not clear that one man can turn all of Boeing's problems around. There are serious problems with the company — there's no guarantee that with a mere change at the top, the firm will be able to recover from all the mistakes it has made in the past few years.
