Aviation Week says that deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner will be delayed again which should put more pressure on CEO W. James McNerney, Jr. to resign. He joined the company on July 1, 2005. That is about the time that development of the 787 began, so the multiple setbacks that Boeing has had to announce about late deliveries have all happened while he has been chief executive.
“Boeing has told several of its early 787 customers about delivery delays of up to 10 months”, industry sources told the publication.
Some of the airlines which have expected the delivery of the plane on its original schedule may have claims against Boeing. They have counted on its fuel efficiency and large capacity to help their profits.
It is time that McNerney take responsibility for the problems and step down.
