A new chief executive took over at Boeing on Thursday, and he began by walking the floor of the factory near Seattle that has become the heart of the aerospace giant’s troubles. Robert “Kelly” Ortberg takes the helm of a money-losing company that has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud, is struggling fix its aircraft-manufacturing process, and can’t bring two astronauts home from the International Space Station because of flaws in a spacecraft it built for NASA. “I’m excited to dig in!” Ortberg told employees on his first day in the job. Boeing announced Ortberg’s selection just over a week ago, on the same day that it posted another huge loss: more than $1.4 billion in the second quarter, which was marked by a steep drop in deliveries of new airline planes, including the 737 Max.
