PW INDIA - jobs are gone due to NEO failure

We had to let go 115 people this week due to less demand. All jobs were from customer training center at Hyderabad. Hopefully all workers will find new jobs. There are rolls Royce, GE, Saffron, and other aerospace companies in the area. Good luck to all PW workers from all over the world.

This is fake news!!! Nobody lost the job. I spoke to them yesterday and they seem to be very busy at work as usual.

This post is very much a lie.

What's the point in lying like this?

Saffron is a spice. Safran is not.

Ignore obviously-instigative fake posts such as @tdg+17kg0J8r

Gotta love putting your name as "Mahatma", that was a nice touch.

EH JOBS were never went to India. Honestly, PRATT saw India as a massive emerging market and US ally unlike China and they decided to invest to take an advantage of the massive market. Unfortunately, indigo airlines and other Indian low fare airlines raised the concerns about constant engine failures due to extreme hot weather in the country and government had to step in and forced airline to look for alternate option like rolls Royce and GE.

NEO is actually positioned better than the MAX is for the next few years, and most of PWs issues on the 1100G have been resolved. This is an industry problem not a product problem.

Agreed. This isn't a NEO failure. It's a global industry decline that's affecting ALL the big aerospace companies.

I don't want to sound like I'm drinking the kool aid here, but I don't think you can call this a NEO failure. The entire industry has been fisted.
