He was canceled by Boeing. If they thought he was worth keeping, it would have been very easy to defend him against this ancient article, especially since his classy exit shows him to be willing to contritely say the right things now.

If you're saying that Boeing is out of control, I agree, although firing some exec for being passionately sexist at one time in his life doesn't rank on the list of their sins imo.

Would it? Or would anyone who tried to defend him also have their own 30+ years ago opinions dredged up? It's not safe for anyone until there is "herd immunity" against being cancelled and we're a long way from there yet.
