Alcoa PTC is down to a skeleton crew now from what I understand. So many people are now unemployed and were given separation packages. I am hoping that after the election things will turn back around and the plant will start up again. I loved working there and miss it. It was always considered a "swing plant" so starting back up is a possibility but Alcoa will have to be willing to spend the money. The fact that they didn't shut it down completely is what gives me hope. Good luck to all that are affected.

I personally think the only reason it still has skeleton crew is to say the plant is still operational. If they (Alcoa - Point Comfort ) were to shut completely down they would be responsible for the huge clean-up cost of the plant.
