The company that I work for is a small sub-contract design company that has maxed out it's capacity for people at its office. I have been working offsite at another aircraft company in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area the past 6 months or so.What's up?
The word came down last week that the company that I have been doing the work for is cutting back and all the people from my company are out of here at the end of the month.
Our company has been giving us lip service that they want to retain us, but there is no room at the inn right now and all the opportunities being floated within the company are going to involve me living away from my family for an indeterminate time. (a couple of months?) The opportunity to travel home on the weekends may be a possibility.
If the industry were more robust right now in town, I would quickly jump ship and go to Lockheed or Bell, but times are fairly lean in aerospace in DFW. Being a contract engineer has its crappy moments.
