Thanks...But I think its not over yet, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the contract split in two and both company’s share the wealth.
Funny thing is I work for Northrop for 10 years on the B2 Stealth Bomber, so I’m stuck in the middle! Cuz I have friends working for them also.....
I also am working towards an Engineering Deg. With 4 kids and a wife of my own...I feel your pain. I’m going to do my best and someday Ill be done. But I can understand with the med's your on...it would be tough, but well worth the effort if you can pull it off.
Since you live in the Seattle area you should apply with Boeing, The timing is right as we are hiring tons of people of the street with little or no experience...Boeing is expect nearly 40% of their work force to retire in the next 5 to 7 years...so there over hiring to fill the void once the old timers retire...so now’s the time to get in.
Here’s the link to the employment website...Set-up a profile, enter your resume, and search for job openings, then apply for as many jobs as you think your qualified for!...Don't be shy!!! If you want my advice...apply for everything...all the can say in no, and your at no already, so you have nothing to lose you.
