Just saw on our company website that Boeing has sold its commercial plants in Wichita and Oklahoma to a Toronto based firm. I'm assuming since you're in the 767 tanker program you're not affected. How's everyone taking it there?

The IAM union is taking it poorly. They had solidarity show in front of the admin build in the rain. I saw them through the window on our forced bus trip to our ethics refresher (what a load of BS that was). It is interesting when the local news interviewed end of shift employees the common thread was that no matter what happens they feel better off without Stonecipher. Onex claims they want to expand the payroll to 18,000 in the next two to three years. Right now it is operating at 43% capacity.
Onex is planning on all in commercial reapplying for their job. The ones that wanted out got out and transfered to WDMC last month (the only openings in our group, few that they were, covered only electrical and avionics engineers.
The big 767 tanker roll out is tomorrow, somehow I got invited, not sure why. A jacket and tie affair.
