Your predictions are always so spot on, Bar.
Did someone say something about the country going down the tubes and needing a big truck?

if I am frozen on equipment until mid September, does that mean no chance of anything on this AE Bid or I may get something if training starts after my freeze date?

Always put a bid in if there is something you want. The company can ignore freezes if they need to, so you just never know.

He has a point if things are extrapolated, same as how he did the furlough projection. The fact is that actualities do not follow trends, which is why he is constantly wrong even down to his "impending" displacement. He's not a Douglas workaround engineer... he's still on the 737 as he has been for years.

Again, he is correct about the pension liabilities shortfall in CA.

Bar, is a pessimist 90% of the time.

He freely admits he was wrong about the furloughs, but not the economy in which he made the predictions from.

If you knew who he was getting some of his investing advice from, you may understand why he has such a sunny outlook!
