Boeing's 737 Max Chief Retiring As AG Barr Recuses Himself From Boeing Probe
Another day, another fiasco at the biggest US airline carrier, and this time it is oddly reminiscent of the conditions surrounding the melting ice-cube that is Tesla.
With Boeing's workhorse and most popular airline - at least until recently when it was unveiled to be an occasional cost-cutting driven lead balloon - grounded indefinitely, moments after the close the company said that the head of its 737 program, Eric Lindblad, was unexpectedly retiring after just one year in the post, triggering a leadership shuffle for another high-profile project: a proposed midrange jetliner.
The 34-year Boeing executive took charge of the 737 program, and the manufacturing site in Renton, Washington, last year as the U.S. planemaker struggled with late deliveries of engines and other components. Previously, Lindblad overrsaw development of Boeing's new 777X widebody in Everett. His predecessor, Scott Campbell, vice president and general manager of the 737 program and Renton site leader, retired at the end of the year after three decades at Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
According to the company, Lidnblad's retirement isn't related to the crisis at Boeing after two of its Max models crashed in October and March, triggering a global grounding.
Lindblad, 57, "shared with me his desire to retire last year, and we will now begin to embark on a thoughtful and seamless transition plan," Kevin McAllister, who runs the planemaker's $60 billion commercial division said in a message to employees Thursday.
In other words, just another guy who wanted to spend more time with his family.
In his stead, Boeing's single-aisle program will be run by Mark Jenks, who previously headed all aspects of a proposed aircraft known within Boeing as NMA, for new midmarket airplane.
In separate news, Attorney General William Barr said he would recuse himself from the DOJ's investigation into Boeing Co BA.N after two 737 MAX airplane crashes killed 346 people, a spokeswoman for Barr said Thursday. Bloomberg News reported on Thursday that Barr has recused himself because his former law firm is representing Boeing. Reuters and other outlets reported in March that federal prosecutors aided by the FBI were scrutinizing the development of the 737 MAX jetliners. Boeing did not immediately commen

Boeing 737 Max boosted by IAG plan to order 200 jets
PARIS - Boeing's grounded 737 Max jet received a boost on Tuesday after British Airways-owner IAG signed a letter of intent to order 200 of the planes and said it was confident that it would return to service in the coming months.
Boeing said the deal had a value of more than $24 billion at list prices.
IAG said the mix of 737-8 and 737-10 aircraft, to be delivered between 2023 and 2027, would be powered by CFM Leap engines and used across a number of its airlines including British Airways, Vueling and Level.
The 737 Max was grounded in March following two deadly crashes, and Boeing has been working on a software fix to get the jet back flying by the end of the year.
IAG Chief Executive Willie Walsh said he had experienced Boeing's MCAS anti-stall software in person, adding it was "very helpful to see it in operation" and to "understand the changes" that Boeing was proposing.
"It gave me confidence both in terms of the aircraft and the changes that Boeing introduced," he said at the announcement of the deal at the Paris Airshow.
"I am confident in Boeing."
Boeing shares rose 2 percent on the announcement. The company is working towards a certification flight with regulators soon.
Boeing commercial airplanes boss Kevin McAllister said the decision of when the Max flies again was in the hands of the regulators.
