Gulfstream layoffs and furloughs in 2009

March 6: Company announces the layoffs of 1,200 workers, about half contract workers and half permanent employees. The cuts are concentrated in Savannah, where about 6,000 of Gulfstream's workforce of 9,700 are based.

April 6: Gulfstream puts 170 employees working on the production line of the company's new flagship G650 business jet on a two-week furlough. Delays in shipments from crucial suppliers had slowed production, and the furloughs were to allow essential parts to be delivered.

June 29: About 2,200 employees involved in the manufacture of the large-cabin G350, G450, G500 and G550 models at Gulfstream's Savannah facility began a scheduled furlough of four to five weeks.
