Exit stage left for Boeing’s defense chief
Boeing's defense chief, Ted Colbert, has departed the company amid ongoing challenges in the defense and space division, because why should they be different from commercial? This exit comes as Boeing faces multiple crises across its operations and was reported by the Wall Street Journal.
The defense unit has been plagued by losses, production delays, and issues with the Starliner spacecraft program, which NASA recently chose not to trust with its astronauts. While they are stranded on the international space station, Boeing's commercial division is grappling with a strike by its largest union, halting 737 production and exacerbating financial pressures. The company has resorted to furloughing thousands of white-collar employees to cut costs.
