Director Since: 2006
Committees: Member of Compensation Committee
Principal Occupation: President, Legacy Support Group, BBA Aviation plc
Experience: Ms. Billson has served as the President of the Legacy Support Group at
BBA Aviation plc, an international provider of aviation flight support and
aftermarket aviation services and systems, since September 2009. From
November 2008 through September 2009, Ms. Billson was a self-employed
consultant. From August 2005 until November 2008, Ms. Billson was
employed in multiple capacities with Eclipse Aviation Corporation
(‘‘Eclipse’’), including as Chief Operating Officer. At the time of her
resignation from Eclipse in November 2008, Ms. Billson was serving as the
President and General Manager of the Airplane Division of Eclipse. On
November 25, 2008, Eclipse filed a petition for Chapter 11 protection in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. From
September 1997 until July 2005, Ms. Billson was employed by Honeywell

President of Program Management, Aerospace Equipment Systems. Prior to
that, she was Vice President of the MD-11, MD-80 and MD-90 programs at
McDonnell Douglas.
The Board nominated Ms. Billson, in part, because of her extensive
experience in the aviation industry, including operations, engineering,
technology, customer service and product support. In the course of more
than 20 years of managerial experience with large institutional, as well as
smaller entrepreneurial, aviation enterprises, Ms. Billson has developed a
deep and insightful understanding of the challenges of managing large
groups of employees at all levels of an organization. The Board values the
unique perspective and background Ms. Billson contributes to its
deliberations.
