Fire the entire executive board 'for cause' due to malfeasance - no compensation or 'golden parachutes'. Bring in new people who know the commercial aircraft business. Let it be known that any future lapses of due process will result in more heads rolling.
Back in the early 70's, people who survived told me that the company was technically bankrupt, but the banks knew that the people running Boeing lived the business and knew how to build airplanes - the bankers didn't. So the let them work it out. Ten years later we had the highly successful 757/767 programs.
The people currently in charge know banking, not how to build aircraft. That needs to change.
