Look at Who is Still Leaving
Even in a down economy, you’re seeing the top talent from the successful airplanes leave the company. Plenty of 500/600 people aren’t leaving because it’s not recognized as the success the 550/650 were and the 700 will be. Who is left that doesn’t... — read more

Advice from a RIFed Guy
I see rumors here of another cut. Here is my clear-eyed assessment from the beyond. The new CFO started 8/3. He needs to get his look around and then he'll start sharpening his scalpel. This is GAC, so another big cut is not a matter of if, but... — read more
