JAY SCOT T Engineering Manager, 36, Cathay Pacific Airways, Los Angeles, CA F rom a young age Jay Scott was interested in aircraft/avia- tion and technology/mechanics. It was a natural career path. Scott started his career at 16 in the general aviation sector. He learned the basics of aircraft servicing and maintenance before securing a four-year degree at Brooklands Technical College of London and Air Service Training (EASA Part 147 approved aviation training school) combined with an apprenticeship with the UK's then second largest carrier. Upon completion of the course he was awarded the necessary license to certify aircraft for flight. He moved on to another UK-based carrier where he worked as a certifying technician and obtained type ratings on several large transport category aircraft. Then he was offered the opportunity to move to the United States and work as part of the overseas maintenance management team. Responsibilities included management of aircraft maintenance operations, safety and compliance as well as contract acquisition and management. Advanced training includes aircraft type ratings taught by Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific. He has taken 11 aircraft type training classes along with Swire Management Group Transformational leadership program and LEAN training. In Scott's current role at Cathay Pacific he is responsible for the maintenance and engineering operation on the west coast of the U.S. and central America. This includes management of staff, operations, out of service aircraft as well as financial responsibilities. He has increased profit and productivity as well as reduced waste. This has resulted in a reduced opera- tion cost by approximately 40 percent. He belongs to the Royal Aeronautical Society of Great Britain. Nominated by Scott Diaz, director of business development, FEAM: "Jay laid the foundation for his career in the mid-2000s by studying at two of the UK's leading aircraft maintenance colleges and obtaining licenses issued by EASA and the UK CAA. From there he began working his way up from mechanic to certifying engineer before moving to the US to take his first management position at only 26 years old. With his modern management technique (mentored/taught by an industry leader) and fresh ideas for aircraft maintenance management, I see Jay climbing higher and higher." Scott says he has been very lucky in his field. "I set out to become a licensed certifying engineer," he says. "I have received so many opportunities that have lead me to new goals. I hope to make a positive impact in aviation by creating a value-adding maintenance philosophy that will provide safe travel for people and a safe working environment for engineers and mechanics." 1811NG New Split Screen feature allows to operate the DPS1000/1811NG while viewing any PDF document simultaneously Innovative wireless firmware update of the DPS1000/ 1811NG (patent pending) Fully automated and highly reliable DPS1000/1811NG Cost-effective RVSM and non RVSM Groundbreaking wireless remote using your tablet Barfield App available for Android & iOS Tablets New DPS1000/1811NG Options Introduced: Inlet Barrier Filter (IBF) mode – Helicopter application Cabin Pressure monitor Introducing New Split Screen Feature Using Newly Released App W W W .
