I'm new to Ada as well but I can tell you it is used in other areas where software might be considered mission critical. I'm Canadian and know it to be used for air traffic control here (and elsewhere I suspect) and software our space agency uses. In general it's used for on board aircraft applications. It seems to be a small part of the market but it's definately there. You might try searching on Ada jobs or something similiar. Regards, Greg Martin.
