Thank you.

Alan came from Boeing, a heavily unionized company not known for great labor relations, yet build quality is second to none. He just needs to kick butt at all levels of management, which I think he is doing.

Im not a union booster by any means. We actually kicked out our union. Just dont blame the UAW for quality issues. NUMMI took exactly the same UAW workers in the same factory and stopped building GM designed cars and started building Toyota designed ones. The result was night and day.
