Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun stands to reap a $7 million bonus once the planemaker finally gets the grounded 737 Max jetliner back in the air. But there’s a catch, according to a company filing.

To collect, the new CEO must also resolve lingering issues with the aerospace titan’s other problem-plagued programs. That means achieving the first human flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft and ending the production woes bedeviling the KC-46 tanker, which have drawn the Pentagon’s ire.
