[1/2] Boeing Commercial Sales and Marketing Vice President Ihssane Mounir attends a news conference at the 53rd International Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Airport near Paris, France June 20, 2019. Ihssane Mounir has been named senior vice president of global supply chain, Boeing Commercial Airplanes Chief Executive Stan Deal said in an email to employees. Mounir was previously senior vice president of commercial sales and marketing. Among other moves, Deal said Brad McMullen, vice president of commercial sales North America, would succeed Mounir in his sales position while Kim Smith was named to the new role of vice president of Boeing Global Services (BGS) Total Quality. Deal told reporters last week that Boeing faces a number of supply-chain issues.
☆ Boeing wants U.S. FAA to approve paint fix for 787 wing peeling

Now, Boeing wants the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to approve its plan to incorporate a layer of ultraviolet- blocking black topcoat between the primer and the white topcoat. Boeing said in its filing the fix was needed in part because the "paint peeling issue requires the operators to repaint the wing and horizontal stabilizer at a much higher frequency." The company said in a statement to Reuters it had asked the FAA to approve the proposed change to "eliminate the paint adhesion issue experienced on some 787s. The FAA, which said on Monday it would carefully review Boeing's petition, in August approved the first 787 for delivery since 2021. Airbus declined to comment on the 787 paint news.
☆ EXCLUSIVE Boeing shores up Defense unit leadership after delays
  + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( David Shepardson Tim Hepher | David Shepardson | Tim Hepher | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
The move to strengthen industrial leadership comes after delays and cost overruns blighted a series of long-term projects for which Boeing is locked in to a fixed price. Chief Financial Officer Brian West said last month fixed-price defense contracts were being "knocked around" by supply chain problems, inflation and labor shortages. In 2006, incoming BCA chief Scott Carson appointed Jim Jamieson chief operating officer of the planemaking unit - a wide brief giving him effective oversight of jet manufacturing and development until his retirement about 18 months later. Those changes came just as Boeing was trying to juggle changes in manufacturing with the development of the Boeing 787, while still bearing the wounds of a 1997 production crisis. Airbus (AIR.PA) has long had a chief operating officer at its main planemaking arm, though in practice it is more than a divisional role as the defense and helicopter units slot in underneath.
