The Boeing CEO at the time was James McNerney. As Boeing's first CEO without a background in aviation, he made the decision to upgrade the 737 series to 737 MAX instead of developing a new model.
I think we should add a new stat for C-level execs on financial websites, in addition to compensation and tenure and whatnot we should have a "body count" number listed.
Maybe add this to crunchbase as well?
I think you're referring to external body count. We should also include their internal count -- how many bodies they climbed over on the way to the top.
