I listened to the hearings and Mr Mullaly was the most positive and informed one of the bunch. I really think his lack of auto experience is a plus for us. He looks at it more as a consumer. GM's Rick Wagner looked like an idiot. He didn't even know how much his company needed to stay viable. As far as the jets go, I had no problem with it. I am sure that there was staff also on the flight. I would rather him spend his time in the board room than in the security lines at the airport.

I agree. However it would have been so cool if Mullaly drove there in Flex AWD LTD.

yes i posted this and some or many of you might not agree with my views but we are all autoworkers and need to stick together in these times and not fight with one another over our little differences.

Do we know for certain it was a foreign vehicle? If not,maybe we should hold off on stoning him. If it was, he should not even have gotten into it. In any case I'd like to hear his explanation. Think how much better it would have sounded if he'd told the driver he'd rather walk.

There was a big deal made when he first took over regarding him driving a Lexus while the new CEO of Ford, so this should not be too shocking that he still drives one.

 

Think it would have sounded like shit if he said he would walk.

 

Mullaly says to Congress: We need money so we can stay afloat to keep building cars

 

Congressman says to Mullaly: Why? I heard a report you would rather walk, maybe we all should walk more it would not only mean no tax payer money to a dissolving company but it also might help the American obesity problem

HELL NO

He took out that line of credit that is gonna save our asses!! GM didnt noe there fucked they cant get a line from anybody . They got $20bills they could borrow and cant

Mulally did act looking ahead

The board told him to scrap the "bringing the European cars over here" he told them were doing it and thats that. Looks to me like he made the right move again!!!!!!

I watched the hearing Tuesday night and my take is; I'm wondering if Mullaly even wanted to be there? Ford is the only one of the three that seem to have there heads together. I understand that if one goes they all could go but Ford, even according to Gettlefinger, is in the best shape. Wagoner seemed lost or something, maybe he wasn't briefed enough before he got there and Nardelli was all but getting on his knees begging. I don't want to see ANY of them go through anymore hell than they have to because they are our brothers and sisters, I just wish they could have made their case clearer in front of the nation and the world.

I don't think it would sound too offensive if he said he'd rather walk than ride in a toyota. I'd like to think he doesn't own one now.

I read some time back Mullaly got rid of the Lexus, forgot what he was driving though. I think he's doing an ok job so far. He drummed up a butt load of money when he could get favorable terms for it, seems to be making the needed changes at the glass house, None of us can be thrilled about reducing the heads and closing the plants, but if we don't have the sales for them what is Ford supposed to do? From the management side of the table, he seems to be doing all the stuff that the dickheads in congress want us to do, so if he looks bored, I thing it's because he's getting pissy about congress and their demands also. So far I don't see any reason to fire the guy. On the other hand, the clowns from GM and Chrysler sounded stupid as hell. Whatever happens, it won't be pretty, but he seems to be the best one we've had in the recent past.

You are completely right on this one....Mulally acted,looked and talked like a person who knew where he was and where he was going. Again as you mentioned he saw ahead and got the finanacing needed BEFORE the credit crunch came. Of the 3 he is by far the best and I believe his plan in the long run will get Ford out of this mess. What happens in the future isn't guaranteed....but he has put that stupid board of directors on a tight leash and is running the company....not some friggin' beancounter and we can all be glad of that. I think if he gets the cooperation needed we'll be ok.
