“I have known Alan for a long time, and I know his energy and spirit will be missed at Boeing. From working with the community to help secure Washington as the home of the Dreamliner, to standing up to unfair marketing practices by Airbus, Alan has been a partner and a friend.
“While these past few years have seen ups and downs– Alan leaves Boeing with its star on the rise and a bright future ahead for the company and its workers.
“I look forward to continuing a strong partnership with new CEO Scott Carson. I will work with him to ensure that Boeing, its workers and its Washington state family remains strong for years to come.”
