Boeing CEO David Calhoun will step down from the embattled plane maker at the end of the year as part of a broad management shakeup Monday after a series of mishaps at one of America's iconic manufacturers.
Stephanie Pope, the company's chief operating officer for less than three months, has taken over leadership of the key division.
Boeing has been under intense pressure since early January, when a panel blew off a brand-new Alaska Airlines 737 Max.
Airline executives have expressed their frustration with the company, and even minor incidents involving Boeing jets have attracted extra attention.
Pope, 51, was promoted to Boeing chief operating officer only in January.
