Hey everyone, Been seeing a lot of chatter on here and elsewhere about ongoing supply chain disruptions affecting the aerospace industry. For those of us at Textron Aviation, has anyone noticed any tangible impacts yet? I'm not talking about confirmed layoffs, just more like project delays, hiring pauses on certain roles, or maybe even reduced overtime opportunities. I work in [department, e.g., engineering/manufacturing/supply chain] and while things are busy, there's definitely a sense of 'hurry up and wait' on some fronts. Components are taking longer to arrive, and some production lines seem to be experiencing minor hiccups. Is this just industry-wide noise, or are we seeing specific Textron manifestations of these issues? Curious to hear what others are observing, especially if you're in different departments or divisions. Trying to gauge the general sentiment and whether it's worth being extra cautious right now. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Working in manufacturing, we're definitely feeling it. Lead times on certain raw materials have stretched significantly, which has forced some re-planning on production schedules. It's not a full stop by any means, but it's noticeable enough that everyone's keeping a close eye on it. Management seems to be managing it well, but the uncertainty is there. Just hoping it doesn't escalate further as we've been pretty busy lately. We're just trying to keep things moving as smoothly as possible, but it's a challenge with the current global situation.
