No, the "Fairchild" in question is the one started by engineers who abandoned the racist transistor inventor Shockley's company, long after WWII.
They called themselves the "Fair Children".

No, what? I never said these were the same companies. As I said, Fairchild created many successful companies, all with his name and something descriptive of their initial business area. You are talking about Fairchild Semiconductor. Then there is Fairchild Aircraft, Fairchild Controls and a number of other Fairchild companies under the umbrella of Fairchild Corporation which is no longer in business. During their efforts to survive they sold off many assets such as Fairchild Fasteners which no longer carry the Fairchild name but are still viable business units.

It's too bad they never merged with Honeywell and became Farewell Honeychild.

You mean shipped product value (revenue) per head, to break even in NA ~100K. I think that nowadays, with borrowed money and leveraging it's more like 140K.
