Textron is on it's way out. Unfortunalty it is taking everyones retirement with them. There are folks here that have 40 years investing in there stock plan and now it's worth nothing. One guy said he will not be able to retire as he planned. Sucks.

It's an off and on thing I guess. It just takes something interesting, or silly, to pop up and get a party going. Just counting the pages already for May, it seems to me that we are about on par.
We're pretty busy here so I have to scoot around a lot lately. Today we've got customers in-house for an equipment buyoff, and I'm twiddling my thumbs while the plant does their demo. I have to be instantly available if a problem arises, and can't get too involved in anything else. Then at the closing meeting they will ask for a bunch of free stuff or modifications and I'll have to put on my diplomat hat.

Were you able to convert out of the Textron plan into a Woodward plan? Or are you getting screwed too?

I rolled mine into an IRA. Just started up the new 401K plan they offer. Textron offered stock purchase options. Thats were most lost there money. The new company does not offer that. Although I purchased some of there stock when it was at $6.?? and it has gone up a bit. I just hope this was a good move for the workers and not just the workers. If all else fails I can get back into Long Hauling. It's a good money maker, it just strips you of your time at home.
