Boeing CEO, James McNerney, just received another body blow. Yesterday the Seattle Times reported that due to the newly found wing flaw that was first discovered in May Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner would be unable to undergo a test flight in 2009. This information only complicates the ultimate delivery and success of the new plane which Boeing has been relying on to help maintain their lead over their prime competition European Airbus. McNerney may ultimately take the hit for these problems. Stay tuned.
