Could the Airbus grant Increase aerospace jobs?

AI Thread Summary
Airbus has received a £28 million grant aimed at safeguarding nearly 2,000 jobs, which raises hopes for positive changes in the aerospace sector. However, concerns about mismanagement within the company persist, as past redundancies were reportedly not entirely voluntary, affecting employees with health issues. The discussion highlights skepticism regarding whether the grant will significantly impact the overall workforce of approximately 6,500 at Airbus. Critics point out that the management structure is bloated, with many managers underperforming. Ultimately, while the grant is a step forward, it may not be sufficient to address deeper issues within the organization.

Hi guys, :D

MORE good news it seems. was reading , http://www.themanufacturer.com/uk/content/9339/Airbus_get_" and it said Airbus was getting a 28 million pound grant.

This will keep close on 2000 http://www.careers-jobs.eu/aerospace-jobs" safe.

Could this be the sign that things are changing? I hope so, It will mean we can all breathe a little easier.

28M GBP ($50M) for 2000 jobs - sounds about the typical backhander for aerospace.
 
True, but i suppose every lil bit helps ey? another small piece of a larger puzzle.
 
As an ex employee of Airbus, i watched a new factory being built on site, for the composite wing project(hence the 28 million),and at the same time, redundancies were being processed.
Talk about mis management. And the voluntary redundancies weren't all exactly voluntary. If you were unfortunate enough to have had any time off with illness, then you were getting compulsary. (zero payout, for under two years). So, a lot of people were forced out with their "voluntary" redundancy.
That place is saturated with management. 90% of those managers are really bad at their job.
It'll take more than 28 million to safeguard the remaining workforce (6500) approx.
Someone mentioned it would keep 2000 jobs safe. Airbus broughton could not operate at those manning levels.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
