Just dropped in here to let you all know......the plant is at a major juncture. It is all in the air now if we are gonna survive the next few years.....That's why I aint been around here lately, had some major issues to deal with, and some major worries.
The next year is going to be real critical if we are going to continue to be a viable company. I have heard rumors running the entire gamut...bad to good, but mostly bad.
We have another downsizing coming up....involving at least 300 people or so. I am of high enough seniority, that it doesn't affect me, but ANY downsizing is not a good thing at this point!
On the other hand...we have 2 very popular models,(built ELSEWHERE by Mitsubishi) in house now for testing to see if it is Possible for us to manufacture these models (I am not at liberty to say what 2 we are looking at as of this time) Hopefully, we will get at least ONE of these models and alleviate the pressure on the plant. We can only hope, or my OTHER choice is to go back to sea with the merchant Marine or the Navy Auxillery.
We shall see......
