AvTalk Episode 279: Boeing chooses its new CEO

AvTalk - Aviation Podcast

On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we’re joined by Ned Russell and his dog Heathrow to break down the appointment of Kelly Ortberg as Boeing’s new CEO. We also unpack Boeing’s second quarter earnings report, which while not particularly cheerful does have a few bright spots.

Southwest and Spirit Airlines each announced massive changes, with Southwest adding assigned seating and extra legroom and Spirit following Frontier into fare bundling, including offering a true first class product. Will these changes be enough to right the ship for the struggling carriers?
