Boeing Co. said Kevin McAllister is stepping down as head of its jetliner division, after less than three years in the role, amid a crisis engulfing the 737 Max and production snarls with other planes. The ban on flying the 737 Max has cost Boeing more than $8 billion, and the plane isn’t expected to carry any passengers until next year. He will be replaced at Boeing’s services division by Ted Colbert. The jetliner division generates about 60% of Boeing’s sales. He worked his way from the MD-11 Japan Airlines program to a variety of leadership roles in sales and marketing for Boeing’s jetliner division.
