Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

What are the chances that the Army chooses HON for the helicopter engine program?

A chance of an army contract like this doesn’t come every day, and getting it would be an excellent opportunity for grabbing a long-term steady source of revenue. GE has been supplying helicopter engines to the army for a long time, so I think that the Army is going to be very careful about choosing a different design. On the other hand, HON seems like a more stable, long-term partner, given the situation that GE is in. Thoughts?

Yeah, the same people who implemented that shining example of Software known as TeamCenter.

Or how about the SAP implementation?

@WWPGavq "They should sell mechanical to a company that knows and understands parts and suppliers." This (Become the "Apple of the Industrial world") is what management wants to do, but the large institutional shareholders are against it. This was spelled out in 2016-17 after the failed UT merger and the proposed Aero-spinoff. CEO does answer to someone. Just not us.

Honeywell leadership should be applauding as they want to get away from mechanical and is moving rapidly to SW Technologies.

They should sell mechanical to a company that knows and understands parts and suppliers.

Too bad for all the hard working employees that put up with this incompetence.

Even if it's not in production, $154 million between Pratt and Honeywell employed a lot of people

Hard to say how many might get laid off, but realistically not many should be since it has never been in production except for demonstrator engines.

I don't think Honeywell has any room to talk about another company screwing over a customer

What we don’t know is how bad GE has been screwing the Army with the T700 vs. Honeywell’s T55. Past supplier performance can certainly set the table for high or low expectations. The other factor is they Honeywell/Pratt Dual Spool has a better power growth potential than single spool GE if they want to put it in heavy/heavy lift rotorcraft in the future.

That would be a huge win for Honeywell. The engine you are referring to is now being called the T900. As far as I know this is still a joint venture between Honeywell and UTC. There's no guarantee the engine will be manufactured by Honeywell or at a Honeywell location even if the platform is chosen. This is still years away from production.

The government doesnt put all eggs in 1 basket. Hon supplies helicopter engines to Army already. Aviation has been doing ok ay GE, the rest of the company not. Slim chance.
