An engineer isn't the golden ticket to run every kind of job best. In fact I wouldn't think an airline is the kind of company that needs nor should have an engineer at the helm. They're a transportation/marketing company, not a manufacturing company. An airline markets a flight to a public which they perform on leased or purchased third party equipment based on negotiated route pairs/airport slots in a competitive market environment. Even their 'digital' offerings are mostly outsourced (GDS, website/app, in-flight-entertainment) as they have low core competency in that, nor do they need to.
