Yep and both assembly lines will be operational.
I knew you would have a very positive outlook and comment on the subject. Guess the ole' adage applies....'what goes around...comes around'. Back where it all started.
However, I shall be optimistic about this....

Not sure what is going to change. For sure something will be changed...but not sure what. We are to operate 'as before' thru the end of the year. Suppose that sometime in August-September changes will begin to be made. Get ready for the next coming season. Immediate concern for most at CWI is how many will stay and how many will go. Some have already voiced opinions due to the amount of travel time to Lewisville. Others are in the 'wait and see' mode. Supposedly I am in the 'safe' mode and will transition with the move....hopefully this will remain the case.
Not too sure about the '32' stuff. Since Interdynamics purchased the product, that changes were made to the chemical base. But it is a program for W-S-S-F so...guess it will stay.
There are those that 'swear' by the product.

I wish you luck with this hope you are "safe" and stay "safe". What is Frank B. going to do?

Does all this mean that the product, compressors, will improve or go down hill.
