NASA Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans may lose 1,300 of its 1,900 jobs

DD nailed it. I was in this cycle for 10 years finally getting laid off from Michoud and the ET project when my son was first born. He was 6-weeks old and out the door I went. I haven't looked back and certainly don't miss wondering if projects will be appropriated $ each year.

I do find it hard to believe that a 5 year flight gap is going to be allowed though. And I also didn't see if a connection between the next gen shuttle and Michoud exists?? I have lost all of my contacts in that industry.
