A shortened session tomorrow and were going to watch this news, whatever it is, as it is halted, currently for news pending comes on the heels of front page story in the times today, which says a couple of different things, one, he was dressed down by the faa chief earlier in the year told not to ask for any favors and says the halt of production of the max in their words is one of most consequential decisions in the companys 103year history. We dont know what this news is, jim, probably wouldnt surprise many people if it involved mull muilenburgs tenure. His top priority has got to be getting along with charming and sharing and being transparent with the regulators. I would have thought that would be Crystal Clear the day of the first crash. How did it reach that juncture shocking one thing he says is dont ask for any favors was he expecting him to ask favors that is not a good situation to be in. Thats just one small way, part of the way, this crisis has been handled for the last yea

Timeline solidified for putting the max back into air, and get everything going again. Guy why now . Why not later, and why not earlier . George this is sort of the season where you see some of these changes happen. It seems like it was a little earlier than we thought it would happen. I personally think the faa timeline we got a couple weeks the pushing things into earliest midfebruary to get the max back into fleet, i think that had something to do with it. I think the star liner might have accelerated some of this. I think the star liner makes boeing look bad. It makes it look like things arent getting executed correctly at the company. Maybe that accelerated the change. Guy does this excel or at the process of getting the 737 max back into the air, though . George i dont think it shortens it at all. The risk we had is without boeing working for the faa, you extended that timeline, and i think they dont want to extend that timeline. To have a new face in the ceos chair and approache

Kuwaitis and thes may be doing a deal that would bring more to the market. Dennis muilenburg has been ousted as ceo of boeing. Chairman dave calhoun will take his place. Lets bring in Bloomberg Aerospace reporter justin backman. What did milind berg do wrong what did Dennis Muilenburg do wrong . Justin i think the issue was after these two fatal crashes from a Public Relations standpoint, the way that the families perceived him, the people in congress, and around the world come of the perception was that boeing was ready to just move along, fix this and move along, and it really took a different touch for the situation. Guy guy in terms of what this means for getting the 737 max back, does it change anything . Justin i dont think it is going to affect the timeline for the faa and for european and chinese regulators to do their work, but i think boeing is hopi
