If I were to guess, it seems as if they bought them out completely that, Raytheon has some sort of plan. You don't buy something outright without some sort of future plan with it. They obviously see some sort of profitability in the future of it. I would take this as a good thing. Even if they did it to sell it off to someone else would that be so bad?
I heard it was cause we were gonna start doing bombing missions over Iraq/Iran. They already build the weapons and we are gonna be the new delivery system.:uzi:
They also "gave back" our mechanics - about 2 years ago our Flight Options mechanics became Raytheon employees.... last week, we were told that effective February 1, they will once again be Flight Options employees. I've talked to more than one mechanic, and they say that the attitude is sour, and there are grumblings of organizing the mechanics, because they are being played like pawns and have no say over anything - pretty major benefits changes going on with changing shops like that, not to mention Raytheon's pension benefits, etc.
The consensus is that now that we have the mechanics back AND Raytheon owns 100% of us, we are now in a position to sell us off. However, we're in a labor dispute. Most companies will not "buy" another one in the middle of a labor dispute, so I'm sure that will throw a monkey wrench in whatever their plans are on this.
Last week, Raytheon executives showed up in CGF and started chopping heads... the entire marketing department and then some were fired. This week, the CEO of Raytheon is here... why? Who knows. Some think Michael Scheeringa is dusting off his resume and his days are numbered.
Yes, I think we're getting the floors polished, the carpets cleaned, and the outside of the car washed because they are putting a for sale sign in the back window.
Im pretty sure that the facilitys were cleaned so that Bill Swansons shoes did not get dirty. They painted the walls too. BTW notice he flew in on a challenger? Not a RAC product. Supprised me anyway.
So being that Cessna is the antithisis of Raytheon and vice versa. Will the Citation X's be heading for the auction block? What will become of Swift Air?
