This is the second this year. 90 this time from various labor classifications. VLO bid deadline of 11/1/23 with the last day of work on 12/1/23. It won't be the last.
It's incredible to me that nobody it talking about the fact that this facility is going to be in serious trouble soon, after having lost the bid and appeal for the Defiant to Textron. Only foreign orders for Chinook with the exception of what is left of G model remain The failed bid for the US to adopt the Block II upgrades. CH-47 is already running under minimal production. New Osprey production to be completed and cease in '24, with CCRAM soon after.
They banked the entire Ridley campus on Defiant with no backup plan, and nothing can be heard except the crickets from anyone. With 4k people on the line you'd think the media would have published more than one blurb, which was back in May.
