Boeing

Dave Calhoun has served as a director at Boeing since 2009 and was named lead independent director in 2018.

In a March 2020 interview with The New York Times, Calhoun discussed the 737 MAX’s MCAS software, saying the Boeing had made a “fatal mistake” in expecting that pilots could immediately correct the software problems. He went on to explain that “pilots in Ethiopia and Indonesia don’t have anywhere near the experience that they have here in the U.S.”; he unsuccessfully requested to go off the record after being asked whether American pilots would have been able to control the situation, and then replied, “forget it, you can guess the answer.”
