On June 18th, according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, Larry Culp, the CEO of GE Aerospace, a subsidiary of General Electric's aviation business, declined an invitation from Boeing to succeed Dave Calhoun, who had resigned as CEO. In addition, according to a file from the US Senate Permanent Committee quoted by Reuters, Calhoun, who will testify before the committee on Tuesday, will say that Boeing understands the public's concern about aviation safety and that the company knows it still has a long way to go to improve its corporate culture, but it has taken action to do so. In January of this year, an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 passenger plane experienced a cabin door detachment accident during a flight, which raised questions about the safety of Boeing planes. Calhoun announced his resignation last month and will remain in the position until a successor is found.
