Judge Luttig has been appinted as SVP and GC of Boeing (NYSE:BA). The judge is a well connected republican who recently served on the US Court of Appeals 4th circuit. He will be reporting directly to James McNerney Jr. who is both Chairman, President and CEO. The appointment is obviously keyed to Judge Luttig's knowledge of Washington and Big Government. No mention of skills or abilities in corporate governance or related issues.
