Fairchild Cuts Working Week to 35 Hours in Hagerstown
Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corp. will shorten the work week to 35 hours at its Hagerstown plant rather than lay off 1,000 workers amid production shifts for the F-119 Flying Boxcar. The cut follows the Air Force canceling a Chicago plant contract and expanding operations here with a $7 million expansion. The Flying Boxcar, used in Korea, is being developed into the C-119H with 25 000 pound capacity and 1 500 mile range.
