Boeing legal counsellor and senior adviser Michael Luttig, who has overseen the company’s 737 Max legal matters, will retire from Boeing at year-end, Boeing says. The announcement Thursday comes just days after Boeing disclosed that former CE Dennis Muilenburg had stepped down, replaced by incoming CE David Calhoun, who will take over Jan 13. The departure of Luttig, who some have credited with formulating Boeing’s public response to the Max crisis, marks another top executive gone in the wake of 2 737 Max crashes. Former Boeing commercial airplanes chief Kevin McAllister resigned in October, succeeded by Stan Deal. Boeing declined to elaborate on Luttig’s “retirement”, news of which comes 4 days before the end of 2019. <br/>
