Boeing Fires C.E.O Dennis Muilen

Boeing fires C.E.O Dennis Muilenburg.

波音解雇首席执行官丹尼斯布伦博格。

Boeing said on Monday that it had fired its chief executive, Dennis A. Muilenburg, who was unable to stabilize the company after 2 crashes involving its best-selling 737Max plane killed 346 people and set off the worst crisis in the manufacturing giant's 103-year history.

波音在周一表示解除首席执行官丹尼斯米伦博格的职位。在公司发生的2起关于最畅销的MAX机型造成346人死亡的危机中（在该公司最畅销的737Max机型发生2起空难，造成346人死亡后），丹尼斯无法（没能）带领公司走出该公司103年历史以来的至暗时刻。

Mr. Muilenburg's performance during the crisis angered lawmakers, airlines, regulators and victims' families. He repeatedly made overly optimistic projections about how quickly the plane would be allowed to fly again and his attempts to offer sincere public apologies for the accidents have been clumsy. Inflicting further damage on Boeing's reputation.

米伦博格先生在危机中的表面激怒了立法人员，航空公司，监管机构以及遇难者家属。他多次对飞机获得复飞许可的时间做出过于乐观的评估，以及他企图就事故做出真诚，公开的道歉，但是表现敷衍，进一步加剧了波音公司的坏声誉。

Last week, Boeing said it would temporarily shut down production of the Max, a decision that will force some of the 8000 companies in the supply chain to scale back production and perhaps lay off workers.

上周，波音宣布暂停生产MAX系列飞机，这一决定将为另供应链中8000多家公司的一部分被迫减产，或许还会裁员。

The firing of Mr. Muilenburg, 55, adds to Boeing's challenges. In the coming months, the company's new leaders must prove to skeptical regulators that the plane is safe to fly and also regain the trust of its pricinpal Max customers, and ultimately, the flying public.

55岁米伦博格被解雇，加剧了波音公司面临的挑战。在未来几个月，公司的新领导必须向怀有质疑的监管机构证明飞机的安全性，还要重新获取MAX机型重要客户的信任，归根结底，还需要重白拾对波音旅客的信任。
