More and more happy my wife did not accept an offer from Sikorsky back in 2012.

were they outsourced employees from Russia or China? Maybe I'm being serious.... think about it.

Maybe Lockheed didn't give the Big Guy his 10%.

Yep, same downsize thing happened to a lot of Boeing folk when the P-8s SDD phase ended. Still a few hangers-on, and some got picked up by Dyna to support VX-20, but most went back to Hornet or back to Seattle. Some went to support FMS programs. Ran into a couple in Norway.

Bad enough to lose your job, but to get deported to Norway!

I could adjust

We bought our house in October 2013 from a relocation company.
Former owner was Boeing, got moved to Arizona by them.
They bought the house in April 2012, were in it 6 months,
Got a bit of a price break as the Relo had it most of a year.
