Trimdingman Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Edge needs at least 20" wheels and a supercharger to get away from Trimdingman. "This Trimdimgshit is making us all look stupid. We all should block him out." I don't GIVE A FUCK. Go ahead. Then I am the winner. All religions are bullshit. There are multible universes. I am a better poet than you. Edge, I am waiting for your response. Come back. I could teach you about the Latin subjunctive mood or mean free space, or the diffential equation. I could show you the real super-universe. It is so elegant. It really is. I have theories which challenge conventional knowledge. Let me share them with you.

OTPisdead Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 So do we know yet what tire brand Ford is putting on the Edge with the 18" wheels? Will the 18"'s on the Limited receive a different brand than the 18"'s on the SEL? All the Ltd ones I've seen have 20" with Pirelli or Michelin.

OTPisdead Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Edge needs at least 20" wheels and a supercharger to get away from Trimdingman. 20" are actually slower than 18 or 17's, but they do look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OACville Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 For the Trimdingbat haters here's a tip: Go into "My Controls" and look under options for "Manage Ignored Users" and you can put his name on your "Blocked Users" list. Hit submit and then you no longer have to see his spewage. You end up with this instead on all his "useful" posts. You have chosen to ignore all useless posts from: Trimdingbat. Done.. Now I cant see what that twit types anymore.. Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyPony Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Talked to a few "higher ups" yesterday said third shift by jan 08. Sorry if that gives any false hope. I am also starting to hear from different sources that January is when we get called back. Now the question is, is it a third shift or are they just going to add people to the line? i.e. More stations and bring back the relief men?

They will be manned and running as though they were building the Flex. Since they will not be building the Flex until April they will be building too many units, so expect some down weeks Jan. thru Mar. After that it should be full speed ahead.

Trimdingman Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Does this mean that we will be on a 24hr rotation with possible OT Saturdays? Yes. They can make us work up to 48 hours. They cannot run on Saturdays on long week-ends. They can run anytime using volunteers. If demand warrants, they may go to three crews. Then the mid-night shift becomes the weekend shift. Before that happens, they will run Saturdays. I see some Saturdays after April launch. They are planning to bring in 100 students in the summer, and are going to offer 25 packages to skilled trades. Right now, their position on packages for us is that there will be enough work here for everyone. The other plants have to be accomodated first. If they don't get enough takers, then we will get some packages. I would like at some point to see the laid-off workers who lost re-call rights offered jobs, too, especially since they plan to hire students. As for tag relief, I don't know what the plan is. If it were up to me, I would hold off on that for as long as possible because it negatively impacts quality. If there is a repair, the operator can blame the reliefman; and also, the reliefman is not on average going to do the job as well as the regular operator. The way a reliefman works, if different from the regular operator, could affect other operations in the area. His attitude, or others' attitudes toward him could upset the decorum as he passes through the area. If he is an affable person, he could have a positive impact, but he may be taken advantage of or abused. Then you could have a division between people defending him and abusing him. The line is very sensitive. The fall-out from the slightest disruption is costly. Edited September 22, 2007 by Trimdingman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put the idiot on my list and it feels great. Now I would like to make one more suggestion. Please do not quote the idiot in any posts as that is almost as bad as replying to him. If we keep on ignoring him he will be gone in about ten years! Maybe.... :hysterical: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF???? Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 so does anyone know if the third shift officially been announced or is it still just a rumour Still a rumor.

gulik Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Ya azzurri nothing official but it looks like a pretty good chance so just hang in there. But I also heard that the launch crew is going back to detroit (or just to launch team in-house) in the near future I think 47 people, so maybe some calls backs might come sooner :shrug: in this place who knows.

outlawperf Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Good job to everyone at the plant.Sales of Ford’s all-new and redesigned crossovers spiked 96 percent in September; year-to-date sales were up 52 percent. Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX post highest retail sales to date. :happy feet: I just hope they dont wait last minute to get things organized for the flex.Problem is thats managements way of doing things...

Trimdingman Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 so does anyone know if the third shift officially been announced or is it still just a rumour It is up in the air. It depends on the orders. The third shift should come for sure by 09/08 when they bring in the new Lincoln. Two shifts means lots of $$$O$V$E$R$T$I$M$E$$$.
