The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that the head of Dubai airline Emirates urged Boeing to pick an engineering and business heavyweight to lead a deep overhaul of the U.S. aerospace giant and said the task of ending the plane maker's recent confidence crisis "must get done." A Reuters dispatch to The Globe quotes Emirates president Tim Clark telling reporters Friday: "Is it fixable and salvageable? Yes it is. Will it get things back to where it needs to? It must. And you'll only do that with very strong leadership, who are fixated on doing the right thing." Turning around the manufacturer after a series of safety and industrial problems, to the point where it can meet existing and new demand smoothly, may take five years, he said. Boeing is looking for a new CEO after announcing that Dave Calhoun would step down by the end of the year. Mr. Clark said he had never met Mr. Calhoun, who was appointed CEO in January, 2020, after a pair of 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed nearly 350 people. In December, Boeing named Stephanie Pope to the newly created position of group-wide chief operating officer in a move seen at the time as positioning her as a leading contender to take over from Mr. Calhoun.
