New York CNN —Today is Kelly Ortberg’s first day as CEO of Boeing. The new CEO said in a memo to staff Thursday that he decided to work 2,300 miles from the company’s current corporate offices in Arlington, Virginia, to help restore trust in the company’s commercial aircraft business. A Boeing 737 MAX aircraft is shown on the assembly line at the Boeing facility in Renton, Washington. The company said it had no comment whether it is considering moving its entire headquarters back to Seattle along with Ortberg. Boeing executives admitted there they still don’t know how the plane in the door plug blowout left Boeing’s Renton, Washington factory without the four bolts needed to keep the door plug in place.
