Good morning, everyone. My name is Bernie Adamache and I am representing the NACC's Maintenance and Engineering Subcommittee, which as our name suggests, focuses on all regulations that apply to Canadian aviation maintenance and engineering activities.
I am presently responsible for one of the heavy maintenance bases at Air Canada Jazz. After graduating from trade school in 1978, I held positions in the maintenance departments at Bearskin Airlines and Pratt and Whitney Canada's flight test division.
For the next seven years, I was employed by Transport Canada in various roles. In 1995, I joined Air Canada, where I held various positions, including that of senior director for system line maintenance and, later on, that of director of regulatory compliance for the maintenance division.
