Guess the Board is serious about turning the dinosaur around. Billy's out, although he'll stay as Chair of the Board (must have something to do with all the stock he owns). Former Boeing guy is now driving the Ford.

To the Ford Powers-That-Be, there's always been something magic about having someone named Ford at the helm. I never thought Bill was the brightest bulb though.
I hope the new guy knows something about automobiles, it's a whole lot different than building airplanes. At $200-$400 million per copy, you can hide a lot of costs in there.
I hope they can turn it around.
