The bean counters replaced the roller bearing rear swing axle with simple torsion rubber which would deteriorate and allow variable camber which gave hysterical OVERSTEER and V twitchy handling .... Spooky but a hoot also.

In regards to Ford keeping the entire 1200 workers on until the end of 2016? I believe that they will.
However, over the next two years I would assume, and yes, this is only an assumption, that there would be some people that would retire. Also, I would assume, that there would be some people that take advantage of alternative employment (it would be silly for them not to). Is Ford going to replace these workers that leave over the next two years? |

If they put someone on, they have to train them and presumably they will be entitled to any benefits and extra support come closing time. Thats a cost I just can't see Ford taking on. If employee numbers drop, they probably won't be missed as the place isn't working flat out anyway (this months bump aside) and will no doubt see sales decline further over the next three years as fleets give Falcon a miss. If sales do pickup, they will probably cover vacancies via overtime or just limit supply and forgo some sales. I think it would have to be extra ordinary circumstances for Ford to even think of replacing production staff at this point. |

It would be naïve to assume this wont continue as the sales slide continues. |

When accountants and marketing run auto companies instead of engineers there are bad outcomes as a result.
