The rules say only the retiree or surviving spouse can generate the pin.  Is your mom still alive?

Not to mention all the external pressures of the economy that isn't helping sales numbers either. 

That and to Ford’s credit, F Series 68,000 sales achieved with tight inventory (186,000) The only way the active that was with good forward inventory planning and not excess building of trims that subsequently had to be heavily discount….

Hello, my father was a long time retired Ford Talbotville employee, where we were able to access to the AZ plan. He has since passed and I've only been able to access the X plan even though I was resistered and had received 2 pins previously for the AZ plan. I recently ran into a long time retired committee man who said I should have access for the rest of my life. Can anyone confirm that is correct here in Canada. Thank you.

Minus Escape YTD utilities are almost flat. Minus Corsair Lincoln YTD is flat. Minus F150 trucks are flat YTD and we know why F150 sales are down a little.   It's not nearly as bad as you think it is.  

I understand the reason behind the Escape but what about all the other models this year? It has been months of lower sales, this month almost all are in red. 

It's not blowing smoke to say we purposely killed 2 models so we can replace them with new ones and purposely cut back on rental sales.

I understand that but dang that was political campaign manager level of smoke blowing. 

What's not to understand?  They killed escape/corsair to make factory room for all the UEP products including the ones in 29 and 30.   And cut out non profitable daily rental sales which was mostly Escape.  The fact that profit is not falling with these cutbacks should tell you something.
