Boeing CEO’s 2023 pay rose 45% before blowout sparked crisis

Boeing Co's CEO, Dave Calhoun, saw his total earnings soar by 45% to $32.8 million last year, significantly propelled by a retention bonus aimed at ensuring his stay in the position until 2025. This financial strategy was disrupted by a severe aircraft incident three months ago, challenging the initial plan. Stan Deal, the executive in charge of Boeing’s commercial airplane division, experienced a 42% increase in his total compensation, reaching $12.5 million, as disclosed by Boeing in a securities filing on Friday.
