The aircraft wheel and brake shop was informed this week that they are being closed down by March of 2020 if not sooner. Some good people there!

Kingman was told that they should be getting 3 people from Houston. We'll see because this company has ran off 7 people from the Kingman site in the last 3 weeks.
SB is Wheel and Brake OEM, current sites are Feltham, U.K., Houston, TX, Kingman, AZ, Memphis , TN, Shanghai, China and Subic Bay, PI. Honeywell closed the Allentown site several years ago. Current census at Houston is approximately 50 people; quite a few with 20+ years of service. Relocation for qualified personnel to either Kingman or Memphis being offered or the possibility of working at another site in Houston. Much better offer than the Allentown site was offered.
there's something like 7 total W&B sites, including SB. i think 100ish employees in Houston
What was the footprint/number of employee's affected; isn't there a wheel and brake operation in SB?
