Well duh! The established contracts that Viasat acquired from the Inmarsat acquisition is bringing in revenue which leads to new positions to be fill. With the VS3 flight 2 pending, we will need positions for that project. Viasat is catching up! A runner can trip and fall and still get back up to win a race! We are back in the race!

Are some of the laid off US roles being shifted to India?

Lay off people who are trained on the tools, know the customers requirements, understand the processes, and have the required clearances. Then a few months later hire some new people to do it.

No, it's all part of the consultants plans. Lay them off, then hire them back at a lower rate. Gotta pay those consultant fees somehow.

Plus some laid-off employees have come back, but in other positions. Maybe the consultants cut the wrong people after all?
