- Jan.09.2019: Ousted Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg to receive $60m in stock and pension. Muilenberg is contractually entitled to receive $62.2m in stock and pension awards. Muilenberg presided over Boeing as two of its top-selling 737 Max jets crashed, killing 346 people. On Thursday Boeing released emails to a congressional committee investigating the tragedies in which its own executives mocked the regulator, joked about safety and said the Max had been “designed by clowns”. Boeing and the FAA were aware of potential problems with the anti-stall software Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) installed on the Max that has been blamed for both crashes. The issues were ignored even after the Lion Air disaster as the FAA gave Boeing breathing space to address a problem that the regulator predicted could lead to one fatal crash about every two or three years without intervention.
