I don’t think the guy is a member of the Raytheon board of directors as the OP seems to think. The article says he was an associate director. That is probably a mid level management position of some sort.


Associate Directors are generally one level above manager, and 1-2 levels below VP.

Could be 3 levels below VP.

That's not really true. I know 4 people with planes, 2 of them are rich (but not important) and have jets, the other two are upper middle class and have planes that cost less than a lot of center console boats. They grew up around planes the same way I grew up around boats and they just made owning one a priority.

Single engine plane crash, I am not surprised. Going to assume one of them was flying and not a professional pilot.

I mean, you can get a running single engie plane for 60k. But it was built 75 years ago, and even then storing it is outrageous. Oh you want a new single engine plane, you arn't middle class anymore.

Fair enough, but you also aren't necessarily rich and important. I think a new 172 is under $500k, and if you live on the coast you know you can hit that in the boating world very quickly.

Interesting to note as we head into potential April congressional hearings where we are supposed to expose crash retrieval programs housed within defense contractors. Raytheon being one of them…

a friend of mine wanted a 150 but apparently the sport pilot licensing has caused the prices to skyrocket. So he found a polish air force decommissioned mig 19 for $14k. He doesn't fly it much but it looks cool in the hangar around all the corporate jets

Lumpkin is or was an Associate Director in the Intelligence and Space division. It is not an upper echelon rank at Raytheon. Intelligence and Space division is not what it sounds like. The company has so many divisions and departments.....not just missiles. I seriously doubt he was assassinated. That being said, I am saddened by the loss on this tragic accident. Our company will miss him.

Cirrus have them, but it’s going to cost you half a million for a 20 year old used one.

Okay. So you're saying the OP is even more misleading.

I'm not familiar with Associate Directors at Raytheon. What is their role?

Assoc Directors are basically just that. They handle single entities (or area) of production, eng, design, etc...

Leadership roles
Group lead
Team lead
Cell Lead/Manager
Assoc Director
Director
Director of operations
Senior Director of operations
Vice Prez
Prez
CEO

What an idiotic post.
