The death toll from the storm which struck central and eastern Europe last week rose to 24 and some areas are still under threat from rising waters

The action, announced in a memo by Boeing Commercial Airplane Chief Executive Ray Conner that was obtained by Reuters, follows Japan Airlines Co Ltd’s decision on Monday to pick Airbus planes to replace its Boeing 777s, rather than the next-generation Boeing 777X model.
“You probably wouldn’t have seen this happen if they had won JAL,” said Ron Epstein, an analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “Boeing is looking at their sales strategy” following the loss in Japan.
A Boeing spokesman said the two events were completely unrelated.
Conner linked the shifts to the retirement of Boeing veteran Mike Bair on November 1. Bair is head of the marketing and strategy groups that look at Boeing’s long-range commercial airplane market forecasts and design its product line and strategy.
In the new structure, marketing functions under Bair will shift to the sales group and be led by marketing Vice President Randy Tinseth, who will report to global sales chief John Wojick.
