Time to Investigate !!! :o :o :ugeek: :ugeek:

So off I go to search for news on this Relocation :shock:


Remember the Video "Promotes",, Lafayette, Louisiana, as if to move there to work for BELL Helicopters (See the Video)

BUT WAIT,,,, their closing down the plant there in "Lafayette, Louisiana", whatttt now I am Super Confuzed :? :shock: :o :ugeek: :think: :shifty:

The YOU TUBE Video out today by Bell Corporate somebody who over sees their You Tube channel

and the SAME DAY this comes out :

Bell Helicopter "relocates" final assembly line for Bell 505 Jet Ranger X :

Bell Helicopter is moving its final assembly line for the Bell 505 Jet Ranger X "from Lafayette, Louisiana", to its facility in Mirabel, Quebec, with Lafayette receiving two other programs in replacement

The 82,300-square-foot, $26.3 million facility was expected to create 115 jobs at full capacity, with deliveries of the first 505s set to begin soon after the aircraft achieved certification later this year.
However, it will now be home to the Bell 525 Relentless cabin subassembly, which is "relocating from Bell’s Amarillo, Texas", facility, and modification work on the Northrop Grumman MQ-8C Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is "relocating" from the Bell’s facility in Ozark, Alabama

NOW that's 1 hell of a lotta - "RELOCATING" 3 Plants ??????????? :roll: :? :shock: :o

The "STATE" funded the $26.3 million construction of assembly center, which opened in August.
The building is owned by the Lafayette Regional Airport. Bell has been leasing the facility and committed to making an additional $11.5 million capital investment in equipment and tooling.

On Thursday, Snyder said the company is "negotiating" with officials to ensure that Bell Helicopter is "keeping its end of the bargain" with state and local governments.

But there were signs of trouble months before the local assembly center's opening.
In April, 2015, the company announced plans to "lay off more than 1,000 employees".
Shortly after the announcement, Bell Helicopter spokeswoman Ashleigh Dana Told The Daily Advertiser that the company was invested in the Lafayette assembly center with more than 300 orders for the 505 Jet Ranger X models.

The 505 Jet Ranger X final assembly facility also promised to deliver 115 new local jobs.

Snyder said Thursday that the 505 Jet Ranger X manufacturing operation will not be returning to Lafayette.

The commercial aviation industry has taken massive economic blows for three consecutive years, Snyder said. The decision to shift the company's facilities is an act of survival.
