Thread regarding Learjet layoffs

As Bombardier Cuts, Wichita Will Be Affected...

B is ditching turboprop and business jet flight training programs... Anyhow, they've already said they will be cutting Learjet folks in Wichita but they are not saying how may will be laid off and how wide and deep this round of cuts will be. Things are slowing down anyway and it's not a good time to be laid off.

In my humble opinion they are outsourcing way too much to Mexico. They need to bring the jobs back to the US, and this needs to happen ASAP. We are moving tech, process, knowledge and people there and that's not good at all, it'll put us in trouble (already has).

My wife was cut in that big round of cuts back in 2013, she liked working here but she had to go - I really hope I do not get cut this time even though we know it may be coming.

I left about four years ago, Learjet had very substandard management on the Learjet 85 program.

Almost all of the managers did not have basic professional, personal, and communication skills...

Working morale was awful, working environment was poor.

The program was wavering, people were lost, no direction for the whole program, always working under stress and lying was rampant. They were trying to deceive us...

I am glad I left.
