From the few books I've read the number documentaries of watched, he was a great part of pushing Boeing forward when it came to the 777 program, and he would have been a great asset to retain in this time of disarray with the 787.

Fascinating though.. the A380 delayed, the 787 delayed, and now a sizeable delay in the A350 as well. Thank goodness engineers produce aircraft, not the marketing guys (this coming from a guy who studied Marketing at uni ).
