Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun Fights Back Tears, Admits 'Mistake' on Air Alaska 737

Unless the tears were followed by a resignation (effective immediately), I assume he's faking.

The buck stops at the CEO, right? Lead by example or stop pretending.

Well the threat to his financial position is growing more ominous, and you've got to figure there are some people who are going to get quite emotional about now after it starts getting this bad.

OTOH there are those who respond with the greatest empathy to the tragic fatal accidents that would have been preventable also.

Even more when there were mass casualties.

God forbid he show that same emotional contrition in public forum like a disgraced Japanese executive – Toyota's CEO, for example, after the "unintended acceleration" deaths. [1]

Might be useful if specialised industries such as this recruited some senior management with actual industry-specific knowledge instead of some management generalist!
