(Reuters) - Boeing Co ( BA ) CEO Dave Calhoun will step down by year-end, in a broad management shakeup brought on by the planemaker's sprawling safety crisis stemming from a January mid-air panel blowout on a 737 MAX plane.

COMMENTARYROBERT PAVLIK, SENIOR PORTFOLIO MANAGER AT DAKOTA WEALTH

"They need more than just a shake-up at the CEO and the chairman of the board level... they're just paralyzed from making decisions."

"I think Dave Calhoun is being targeted as the scapegoat, not necessarily by only the board, but by the government."

"The bounce is going to be short lived... It's going to take a little bit more time for Boeing ( BA ) to get it straightened out, but the company certainly will not be going out of business, the government won't allow that to happen. Boeing ( BA ) needs the government, and the government needs Boeing ( BA )."

CAMERON DAWSON, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, NEWEDGE WEALTH

"Clearly there is a relief rally that there could be some cultural change happening at Boeing ( BA ). We've long thought that the issues at Boeing ( BA ) have been seated in cultural challenges."

"Everything from the laser focus just on cash flow to moving headquarters away from the base of manufacturing. At the end of the day, Dave Calhoun was as much of an insider as if he had worked at Boeing ( BA ) because he came from GE and was on the board for a long time."

"Boeing ( BA ) clearly needs a shift in culture, which is likely why the shares are up this morning. Challenges will still persist though. In the short term, there are a lot of things that Boeing ( BA ) has to address on the safety side which are not fixed overnight. But clearly the market is seeing this as at least a step in the right direction."

"It was a foregone conclusion that they need to make a change. The shareholders are glad to see the company recognize that."

"The new management will need to take a fresh approach to Boeing ( BA ). It will take time for those plans to be revealed. There maybe some clearing of costs prior to the new management coming in, so things could look a little worse before they look a little better. Overall, it's a net positive for the stock."

DAVID WAGNER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, APTUS CAPITAL ADVISORS, CINCINNATI, OHIO

"It's never a good sign when a CEO leaves.. this is just a headline and will not affect the structural lack of oversight problems that continue to plague the name."
