Long story short, myself and 450 others are losing thier jobs this winter. Last I heard, March will be the permanent shut down of the Coburg division of Monaco. Good thing I got my old job back in Bellingham but that means I have to pack up and move again. But at least I have a job somewhere else!

Thanks guys. My old work heard i was looking and sent an offer. Things always work out and im greatful for that. Sure was fun designing chassis's for a while! Something many people dont get the chance to do. I will be designing airplane stuff again and hope to have more fun this time around.

How important is location to you? CAT is hiring. Far more stable than RV and aircraft industries. And you can buy a nice house in a nice neighborhood for $160K.

There is rumor of relocating some of the engineers over to Indiana but I'm not interested in the mid-west. I heard that CAT is a great place to work though. One of the guys I worked with was a regional guy for them and raved about how great they were.
