WGL @ NAP Took buyout. Last day worked was 11/27/06 I JUST NOW GENERATED A PIN NUMBER FOR MYSELF. - 09/13/07 @ 12:25 EDT. You must keep your login ID current and password expires as always...every 90 days or so. Does that answer the question ?

HEY THANKS FOR THE UPDATE GUYS ! GREAT NEWS INDEED ! I went out Nov. 27th and relocated back up to the Philadelphia area so even though Ive been at a new job since the 1st week of December I've been dying waiting for NAP to get their act together so I can start actively stock trading using my VectorVest software with my buyout. I got through to Angela in HR and she confirmed that they did indeed get my check and it was dropped in the mail today to my new address up here ! Well at least I wont have to worry about any additional taxes until 4/2008..... HEY...GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS TO ALL OF YOU AT NAP AND I HOPE ALL YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS BEGIN TO COME TRUE IN 2007 !!! We all have earned EVERY penny of that buyout....!!! I finally can close this chapter in my life and move on.....Amen ! Take care everyone ! And may God richly bless you and your families as we move on beyond FOMOCO !

He did'nt have to....I work with him every day....he is in my group and he is sincere in simply trying to offer his co-workers an opportunity to put their modest buyouts to work for them using tailored and prudent investment advice. Its not a scam...its not a "pie in the sky" pipe dream or some crazy get rich quick sceme....if you are local here in Hampton Roads you can check the company out for yourself....go to their office...call them up....dont be content to follow the crowd who just want to shoot down somebody based on apathy and fear. And yes, before you ask, I AM talking to him about my own personal situation....so take it for what its worth.....if you think you and your family are at least worth investigating another way for you to go to use your buyout cash and make it work as hard for you as you did to get it then by all means give them a call....you might be very happy you did ! Good luck to you.

Instead of jumping on the "ignorant pile on" bandwagon why dont you call the company he mentioned... here is the link.....investigate for yourself and open your mind instead of following the ignorant masses like a sheep....check the company out....ask for information.....do your own "due dilligence"...then when you find out that this company is legitimate I would suggest to you sir that you would owe this young man a sincere apology posted right here just like your previous comments above were....do you have the courage to find out for yourself or are you just another sheep ? http://www.steinfi.com/new/steinfinancial/

There is NO CAUSE for personal attacks on a person's character here. I have worked with this young man on a daily basis for several years now and he is beyond reproach. The company he is about to join is legitimate and their offer is sincere and genuine. If you choose not to avail yourself of an opportunity to lift yourself and your family up by the prudent use of what limited buyout funds we have been offered then that is your choice and you are certainly entitled to it.....do so.....and move on ! Allow others to form their own opinions and make their own choices without your vitriolic and narrow minded views and uninformed opinions. Everyone in Ford has some very hard choices to make now, there is simply no need of people of your ilk to muddy the waters more they already are.

DITTOS ON THAT ! Ive got a huge interview here locally on Friday Nov. 3 that I would love to say YES to.....Im ready to get off this sinking ship ! :titanic:

After Ford's earning announcement this morning of an operating loss of $5.1 BILLION LOSS. North America LOST $2 BILLION alone based largely on the collapse of F SERIES SALES ! Mulally stated very clearly that this kind of loss CANNOT continue so I would expect that they really attempt to speed up the cost cutting because the product side just cant come fast enough to turn this thing around quickly. They will also RESTATE ALL FINANCIALS back to 2001. I find it hard to believe they will be ADDING weeks to NAP in this environment.

CAVEAT EMPTOR !!!

I've been reading this thread and as another Libertarian I could'nt agree more brother ! That old axiom about "power currpts....." has never been more true ! Both parties have been guilty forever....not just the last 12 years ! If you read some of the founding fathers papers, especially Madison, they believed VERY STRONGLY about the "citizen politician" as a servent of the will of the people.....WE ARE after all a REPRESENTATIVE REBUBLIC.....NOT a Democracy. Their job is to represent our will.....unfortunately over the decades people have been happy to walk away from the responsibility to be engaged in the functioning of their government as a result of becoming who we are....the GREATEST country ever conceived by man and blessed by God. It is very sad when I hear on the radio during Hannity's "man on the street" section where most people dont have a clue who their most powerful leaders are but can instantly identify such idiots like Alec Baldwin, Paris Hilton, and Jessica Simpson !!!! As citizens in this most blessed land we have a responsibilty to become informed voters and NOT just follow the "party line". Until that happens Im sorry to say that we all desearve EXACTLY what we get ! There is plenty of blame to go around....total disgust and apathy with the "status quo", sound bytes generation, lack of comprehensive civics education in our public schools ( which is 1 of many reasons why I have been homeschooling my daughter for the last 6 years now ! ). In conclusion the only thing I could add is that if anybody needs a reason, a very personal reason, why they should seriously consider beginning to vote for Libertarian candidates Ill give you 1...... HR 25 Do yourself a favor....GOOGLE IT ! Educate yourself on the incredible power of this legislation to unleash the greatest wave of prosperity the world will ever see( created by man ) that would touch ALL LIVES. Investigate it, NOT JUST THE SOUND BYTES....and contemplate how this WOULD affect you and your family in a VERY REAL WAY on a daily basis directly in your quality of life and your opportunities for realizing your hopes and dreams. The 2 main parties will NEVER consider such a life changing legislation but it is gaining bipartison support, hard to believe, but its true....unfortunately it really needs a grass roots wave, which as been gaining momentum lately.....here in VA the Demogods have been running negative and totally misleading ads referencing HR 25 aimed at a local Republican candidate. If you believe in limited government as like was originally envisioned by Madison and Jefferson, if you believe the best thing that government can do for this economy is get the hell out of the way and allow the American spirit drive this engine to unprecedented levels, if you belive that government is supposed to be a servent of the people's will then you need to seriously consider, and educate yourself on the Libertarian party as a true viable option and the true inheritor of the vision of our founding fathers. If you're still not sure I invite you to take a very simple test on this website....see for yourself where you stand on the Libertarian party as an option that more closely represents you. http://www.self-gov.org/quiz.html We get EXACTLY the government that we vote for....we have ONLY ourselves to blame if we are not satisfied with the results. Need more information ? You might be surprised..... http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz-score/lib...ecb040632ff4e5f Libertarian 2006 Vote....who represents YOU ? http://www.vote-smart.org/index.htm

How true....maybe in 50 years Michigan will be the new "tropical paradise" ! Might be a good time to be buying land about 5-20 miles from water....YIKES!!!

OK Thanks...big difference from Monday....thats good to hear at least !

Did they have somebody from the 919 there to witness it or do we have track them down at the union hall ?

Good stuff guys ! I needed a good laugh ! Reminded me of a few things in Sealer with a certain supervisor who is not there anymore.... I guess all alot of us will have pretty soon are some good memories to bring a smile to our faces. Hey Atlanta...I LOVE MY 2004 TAURUS SE....GREAT CAR ! Its a real hell of a shame that Ford would'nt stand behind such an icon and keep it viable ! Im just tired of all the uncertainity and ready to move on. Good luck and God bless to all !

Thanks guys, that makes a little more sense to me....appreciate the info. Ill stay with $100k and walking away.

What's happening on Weds? I gotta tell you if this for real it would change things for me a little bit, when you add $28k to the $45k and transfer its almost what you would get if you took the $100k buyout and leave Ford. Yeah its spread out over a longer period but you would'nt be starting over and stopping your pension accruing. While I would'nt be thrilled at the prospect at moving up there it's an option worth considering if they do sweeten the offer and at least it would be moving to a very new plant making a product( F-Series ) that you know will be there in one form or another. Great now its even more confusing, I sure hope they dont change anything else ! How the hell are we supposed to make a huge life move when they change the rules ! Please, if ANYBODY finds out more FACTS about all this and how the transfers are going to work please post it here for all of us. Thanks. Good luck to all.
