What is his role in HA and what experiences are influencing his current state of mind? What are the current dynamics and complexities of aircraft maintenance? What is the current state of HA’s on-board versus ground-based maintenance approaches? What are the most important questions to ask when considering a new technology to solve a critical business decision? What aspects of aircraft maintenance and repair might lend themselves to a cognitive analytics solution? What benefits and improvements is Kartchner hoping to achieve?
