Boeing's space and defense chief exits in new CEO's first executive move

[Rooters] Boeing (BA.N) said on Friday the head of its troubled space and defense unit is leaving the company immediately, in the first management change under new CEO Kelly Ortberg.

Ortberg who took over in August said Ted Colbert would be leaving and Steve Parker, the unit's chief operating officer, would assume Colbert's responsibilities until a replacement is named at a later date.

"At this critical juncture, our priority is to restore the trust of our customers and meet the high standards they expect of us to enable their critical missions around the world," Ortberg wrote in an email to employees. "Working together we can and will improve our performance and ensure we deliver on our commitments."

#1 I'd have thought the head of the commercial airliner division would be the first to go, but I guess you have to start somewhere.

#2 They can't can the commercial aircraft guy right now. It would look bad during the strike.
The actual problem really lies a couple of layers down, with the planning and control staff.
