Not likely James, even if the job you took was in Lake Charles, LA. Boeing Louisiana was running an employee mill, hiring new ones as fast as they could run others off. Seems they were being given a 60% re-imbursement from the state of Louisiana for the first $10,000 of payroll for any employee they hired and re-trained or hired from unemployment or underemployment.

They were losing money or breaking even on the contract for servicing the 30-40 year old KC-135 tankers, while making a huge profit of the payroll reimbursement.

I learned more about the 135's than I ever wanted to. Going full-time in my own business was an easy choice.
