these guys are good bsuienss men but to run a company like boeing which has overriding issues compared to shareholder value like SAFETY which mostly doesnt come into busiens in the way aviation does.
They dont need huge pay offs they made sure they got vast amounts of money out of Boeing already in basic compensation bouses and stock and they got that based on meeting or exceeding the WRONG targets and the targets set by the board and the board are every bit as guilty as these people and most of them should step down.
But Ia gree anyone from legal or accounting need not apply when it comes toa successor -they should be an industry person be it engineer, project manager or even a marketing person and they should be given targets that focus on quality and safety
