The congressional committee summoned Boeing CEO David Calhoun earlier this month to testify about the firm’s jets. Senator Josh Hawley, known as a congressional flamethrower, mentions outgoing Boeing boss Dave Calhoun. "I wonder how much he's getting paid," he says. "I bet it's a lot."
Calhoun, who is leaving Boeing at the end of the year, will not be at today’s hearing. Indeed it is: $32.77m for 2023, up 45% from the prior year and 273 times the company's median pay, Boeing disclosed recently.
In a statement to the BBC, the company said: “Boeing understands the important oversight responsibilities of the Subcommittee and we are cooperating with this inquiry. That included $1.4m in salary, the same as in 2022, and more than $30m in stock awards.
“We have offered to provide documents, testimony, and technical briefings, and are in discussions with the Subcommittee regarding next steps.” He could also receive a retirement package worth more than $44m when he steps down later this year.
It added: "This analysis has validated that these issues do not present any safety concerns and the aircraft will maintain its service life over several decades."
