It's ugly out here (ICT). I see first hand what happens, I think it's getting a little better though. Learjet just recalled some factory folks. My buddy is the foreman on the Sovereign line at Cessna, they have other lines on furlough for seven weeks. Luckily they need certification on the Sovereign so he stays at work. The people who are on furlough can take vacation pay then unemployment bennies. Most of the people I talk to who are on furlough from there treat it like one big vacation, traveling and what not. I guess it's good to keep a positive attitude when the chips are down.
