He spent eight years with the Canadian National Railway and another eight in the chemical industry with L’Air Liquide. During this time he received a B.A. Honours in Geography and Statistics as well as a B.Comm.Honours in Operations & Production Management. He came to aviation by way of a head hunter who was looking for an operations manager who had no romance for the aircraft. That has since changed.
Craig’s aviation background includes cargo with Air Canada, an agent with First Air, and General Manager of Keewatin Air, Critical Care International and Kivalliq Air. He lived in Rankin Inlet for 6 ½ years – marshalling and deicing NWT Air, Canadian North, First Air and Calm Air, providing ground support for the NASA Boreaus Project out of Thompson Manitoba, dispatching medevacs, charters and scheds and performing all the other duties necessary to keep the airlines running in the North.

Lyla Barrett, Manager, Consulting Services, Department of Strategic Planning & Airport Development, GTAA. I’ve been working for GTAA after graduating from the University of Toronto eight years ago with an M.A. in Linguistics. I was initially hired to be an Information Developer, writing Plans of Operations and developing training and trials materials for the Terminal 1 Activation Project. I’ve since worked in the Operations Control Centre and for the last three years I have been a Manager in our Consulting Services department. As part of my role I am a consultant in Airport Operational Readiness, and have had the opportunity to work with other Airport Authorities who are activating new facilities. Most recently, I spent most of 2010 in Ireland, consulting with the Dublin Airports Authority on the activation of Terminal 2. Aviation has always been something I’ve enjoyed as a hobby. I never thought it would become a career but I’m glad it did. I am lucky to have a job that allows me to both indulge my inner aviation-geekiness and also satisfy my travel bug! I can’t imagine doing anything else.

I have always had an interest in aviation since I was a kid. Through high school I worked my way through the Canadian Air Cadet Program earning my glider pilot license and private pilot license. I have since switched my goals from pilot towards the business and management side of aviation. As a student in Georgian College I enjoy learning about issues and trends in the aviation industry, or spedning my time as a member of the school's aviation student organization. I hope to make my way into an airside operations position after graduation, and like the prospect of developing work experience through three seperate co-op terms.
