References: Message-ID: Approved: kls@ohareChicago.COM Sender: kls@ohareChicago.COM Date: 01 Apr 93 23:09:00 PST Roland's translation was essentially accurate. The workers are being placed on "Chomage Partiel," = "Partial Unemployment," which is like a furlough. Two periods are planned, 1-5 June and 26-31 December, and another, 20-24 December, might be added if more cancellations take place. The Unions are NOT happy about this. The last paragraph states that predicted production for 1993 had been for 191 aircraft (all models; the article is unclear whether this includes the ATR42/72, which is also built at Toulouse; it probably does not include the A321), 224 in 1994, and 230 in 1995. Latest plans call for production of 140 aicraft in 1993, 14 (? a typo for 140?) in 1994, and 179 in 1995. -- - Stefano Pagiola Food Research Institute, Stanford University spagiola@frinext.stanford.edu (NeXTMail encouraged) spagiola@FRI-nxt-Pagiola.stanford.edu (NeXTMail encouraged)
