Is Muilenburg A Pilot?[edit]

This seems like information that should be part of his article.Godofredo29 (talk) 12:48, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Resignation vs Removal from the position of CEO for Boeing[edit]

The source given at the lead for the event is a New York Times article which starts with the phrase

"Boeing said on Monday that it had fired its chief executive, Dennis A. Muilenburg ...".

The second source which is an official press release from Boeing to the investors states

"The Company also announced that Dennis A. Muilenburg has resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and Board director effective immediately."

I believe that the official press release is the more credible source. I changed the lead accordingly. Nxavar (talk) 13:45, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The likes of the New York Times, and the BBC ([1]) are to be preferred over a press release. Such news sources are able to discern between stepping down and being forced to step down or else. Eostrix (talk) 14:29, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Managing life?[edit]

"Muilenburg ... has spoken about managing overall life." Come on, this says absolutely nothing. Either properly summarize the source or leave this out completely. PizzaMan ♨♨♨ 07:04, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Life after Boeing?[edit]

What is he doing now? Has he retired or found another job? 87.75.117.183 (talk) 06:44, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It has only been a month. Takes time usually.--Eostrix (talk) 08:08, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resigned or was fired?[edit]

This is literally a quote from the press release by Boeing: "The Company also announced that Dennis A. Muilenburg has resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and Board director effective immediately." I see the NY Times headline stating he was fired, but I'd say the information coming straight from Boeing itself should be accurate. It even says later in the article "On December 23, 2019, Boeing announced that Muilenburg resigned as the CEO and Board director, in the aftermath of the two crashes of 737 MAX aircraft." Yes, I agree the board is what caused his resignation, but he was not fired in the literal sense of the term. Maybe it could be mentioned that he resigned under pressure by the board or something like that? Apoorv Chauhan (talk) 18:22, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apoorv Chauhan This was raised a few months ago (see above). You seem to be suggesting that we prefer a Boeing press release to the New York Times and the BBC. The NYT and BBC headlines both state that Muilenburg was fired. When a senior executive resigns with immediate effect, rather than with a notice period and handover to their successor, it means that they have been fired. Edwardx (talk) 18:53, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One could theoretically "resign, effective immediately" and not be "fired", however what is important here is that reliable sources such as the BBC have parsed this corporate speak as a "firing".--Eostrix (talk) 08:59, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the comments above, however the press release from Boeing just seems like it's coming from the horse's mouth, perhaps WP:BLPSELFPUB applies. Besides, if Muilenburg was indeed fired, why would Boeing try to mask the fact in their PR and say he resigned instead? If anything, considering the current situation, firing Muilenburg seems good for their publicity right now. Apoorv Chauhan (talk) 04:45, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Family[edit]

Why nothing about his family? He's is married to Rebecca. Rustygecko (talk) 21:54, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

His wife was born in 1965. They were married in the 90s.They have one son and one daughter. Rustygecko (talk) 21:57, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
