Max 8 suffers stuck rudder pedals on landing: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense...
Could have been nasty, sounds like the captain was pilot flying and therefore had the nose wheel tiller within reach to regain some steering control.

It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.
Like something out of a Bourne movie

Well, you’ve already assumed there’s evidence to be found it seems. 
This is ripe for conspiracy theories, obviously… Is it possible he killed himself for some reason? If the answer is yes, evidently there will be some people who won’t believe that.

Did the deceased have cause to harm themselves?
Did anyone wish the deceased harm (threats, rivalries)?
Any evidence of foul play?
Obviously it's suspect if a healthy and happy person takes their life, however what if they were depressed, had money troubles or a serious illness?
I don't think many details will be forthcoming in respect of the victim, hence it'll be ripe grounds for conspiracy theories.

Although not stated no doubt with huge payouts that would set most people up for the rest of their lives. Stephanie Pope, who is taking over as CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplane Division, has a BA in Accounting and an MBA. You would think by now Boeing might be thinking that a boss with a qualification in aeronautical engineering or even quality control might be more appropriate?

They can't because they don't have anyone with that background in a position to take the role, those with it are still "lower" in the corporate chain and wouldn't be able to make the jump to CEO so the option would be someone external coming in and that'll not happen!!!Matt Stoller wrote this in 2019 FFS - and still it goes on:

Shuffling deck chairs about.Who is Stephanie Pope
The idea that you can just magically fix all the problems (that being the share price to MBAs) by just replacing a CEO.
Bet Calhoun still got his golden parachute.

Seasonal Hero,thank you for posting that. It does seem that Boeing are incapable of relearning how to build aeroplanes properly.https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-coming-boei...

While something clearly ails Boeing a journalist who calls Sprey and Spinney aeroengineers is not doing their homework.https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-coming-boei...

Unfortunately sensible discussions around this specific on open internet forums in this age probably isn't one of them. I plopped it there as I've heard some interesting stuff, Others may wish to look. Any further thought is probably best shoved over to NPE, colours adorned, and prams loaded with toys.

Do you believe they would be doing better with fewer minorities? If not, why raise DEI hiring in this context? If you believe they would be doing better, I’d love to understand the rationale.

Now, in reality how accurate that statement actually is at Boeing's recruitment coal face I've absolutely zero idea, all I can point to is examples of this happening when targets are set which can't be achieved normally and so, for financial/reputational reasons, "targets will be hit" becomes a relaxation of the rules to achieve the targets.
Most recently we've seen this with the RAF where the "we won't fail" attitude of very high up leadership was causing lower leadership positions to carry out practices which were found to bend if not fully break employment laws, leading to multiple payouts to those effected.

Sensible discussions are entirely possible. What is it about DEI targets that relates to Boeing’s current troubles, in your view?

If an engineering based firm isn't hiring as many people as they can from IIT (elite engineering colleges in India) they are probably doing something wrong. Boeing have already got 6,000 employees in India (mostly in Bangalore) working on engineering & ITDo you believe they would be doing better with fewer minorities? If not, why raise DEI hiring in this context? If you believe they would be doing better, I’d love to understand the rationale.
