Fired Boeing CEO may get $39 million payout

Fired Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg may walk away from the company with a $39 million severance package.

Muilenburg has compensation benefits that range between $30million and $39million, according to company filings accessed by The Telegraph.  

The decision to fire Muilenburg followed a recent announcement that Boeing would suspend production of its best-selling 737 Max model from January. 

The board’s current chairman David Calhoun will officially take over as CEO on January 13.
