This comes after Boeing CEO David Calhoun announced this week that he would step down at the end of the year.

He said this is part of a broader management shake-up following a series of mishaps -- not due to the recent series of United maintenance issues.

There have been several issues for Bay Area United flights recently, including the one that lost a wheel after taking off from SFO earlier this month.

That plane was also a Boeing 777.
