Just recxeived in my Aviation eBrief :
Hawker Beechcraft plans to add more than 100 engineers by the end of the year, including 60 in the next three or four months.
It also plans to hire 40 to 50 people in its supply chain and operations areas in the next 90 to 120 days.

Now, Hawker Beechcraft is seeking project, electrical, manufacturing, powerplant and avionics and systems engineers with varying degrees of experience, including recent college graduates and managers.
It’s awesome that a General Aviation manufacturer can hire in this economy, especially after the flap over automotive CEOs flying to Washington D.C. in company jets.
Remember that Wichita aerospace companies dropped about half their workforces after Bizjetgate. This is a hopeful sign, but a very slight one.
