Anytime any engineering business names an accountant as the CEO, write
it off.  Boeing did so several years ago.  The accountants will drive
the costs to zero no matter what happens to the employees.

 When I was a kid, Boeing, Lockheed, and Douglas all had presidents who
were certified to fly their company's products and sometimes did.
 This is no longer the case; it is as if General Motors was run by someone
who couldn't drive.
 Note that Air Tractor's president can fly his company's products.  Not
sure about Cessna or Piper anymore.

Boeing's new CEO, Robert “Kelly” Ortberg. He may not be able to fly them but at least he's not an accountant, mechanical engineering degree. His office will be in Seattle factory, not Chicago.
