You are eliminating safety procedures. You are sticking it to your employees. You are cutting back jobs because you’re trying to squeeze every piece of profit you can out of this company,” said Senator Hawley. Watch the full exchange here or above. Senator Hawley pressed Mr. Calhoun on his salary of nearly $33 million while the company under his leadership has persistent quality and safety issues. He continued, “For the American people, they’re in danger. For your workers, they’re in peril. For your whistleblowers, they literally fear for their lives, but you’re getting compensated like never before.” In response Mr. Calhoun said, “Senator I don’t recognize any of the Boeing you described.” He continued to say that he was proud of Boeing’s safety record and every action Boeing has taken. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:24:47Z |
