If you can get a P&W Exec to honestly answer the question: "But is there a 'Future' plan to move the rest of the operation?" then you're a better man than I. You've got to figure that they want to - they'll say as much. But is it being planned? One thing I know for an absolute fact is this: Pratt is already underpaying its embedded software engineers, the cost of living is 14% higher in Connecticut, other jobs are available for people who do computer work, it *snows* up in Connecticut and in general, engineers are not stupid people. You do the math.
