Emirates president Tim Clark said the only "fix" to Boeing's problems is to let an engineer lead the firm.
Experts say Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun, who announced plans to resign on Monday, had a background in finance and business.
Calhoun's predecessor, Dennis Muilenburg, was an engineer but was also fired after a Max crisis.

Emirates president Tim Clark spoke up about the future of Boeing's leadership on Wednesday, saying the only way to clean up this mess is to put engineers at the helm.
