With all the speculation, comments, criticisms, name calling etc going on with respect to Ford and what seems like a dumb idea to us as customers I thought I'd try something.
I registered on some forums related to airplanes and lo and behold you've got all these experts on there saying how this is dumb, why did they do that, some dumbo made it this way and so on
What got me going was being on the other side and knowing what they were saying was based on limited info, misinformation, and in some cases blatantly rubbish. Yet in many cases these people are supposedly airplane mchanics, pilots and so on.
So, it's given me a new perspective with the people at Ford. Like I've been saying to many of you the people who run Ford, make decisions, do tasks etc are not dumb. they are smart people constrained by any number of factors and in many cases they can't give us what we want. Sometimes, it can't be predicted and it isn't their fault - they're doing what they can with what they've been given. And of course what will work within the law.
I suggest some of you go looking for forums related to your line of work and see what people are saying about you and your workmates. Then put yourself in the shoes of the people at Ford/FPV who I reckon are doing a damn good job given where they are today.
No they're not perfect. But neither am I. Just look back a few years and tell me we ain't lucky being Ford fans today.
