After what can hopefully be appreciated as an extended Thanksgiving break, the workers at Mooney International are back to work at the historic factory in Kerrville, Texas. While the future of the company is not yet completely secure, there is a lot more optimism today than there was a few weeks ago when the company furloughed its entire staff.
