CEO pay is relevant because Boeing haven't had a competent CEO in decades. Yet all of them were compensated handsomely for making pretty obviously bad choices (e.g. the 787 development was done McDonnell Douglas style, pushing most of the costs and risk to suppliers, and was highly problematic) or downright killing people through negligence.
> I am also not sure why the stock buybacks are worth mentioning
Because Boeing is a very capital intensive business that is currently in mountains of expensive debt, with multiple projects delayed with years, and a recovery time of 5 years minimum. The idiots in charge wasted billions on the wrong things, and now the company is a very bad situation.
