RENTON, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Boeing’s CEO is stepping down as part of a broad management shakeup in the wake of criticism over the manufacturer’s safety standards.

David Calhoun will be leaving the company at the end of the year in a decision he said he made himself. The president and CEO of Boeing’s commercial airplanes unit is retiring immediately, while the company’s chairman of its board of directors won’t stand for re-election in May.

The announcements follow a series of mishaps stemming from the midflight blowout of a door panel on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max jet on Jan. 5. In a memo to employees, Calhoun called that incident a “watershed moment for Boeing.”

U.S. Representative Rick Larsen, who represents Washington’s second congressional district, called on Boeing to earn back the trust of its customers following Monday’s announcement. He said in a statement that the manufacturer needs to get back to its roots as an engineering company and away from its focus of being a financial services company.

The FAA has put a limit on production of 737s after an audit gave the company failing grades on nearly three dozen aspects of production. Boeing has until late May to give the FAA a plan for improvement.
