“It's going to be hard to replace packages that were about $67 an hour when you added in pensions and health-care benefits.”
John Challenger

Greg Davidowitch
“Ford would welcome the cash for liquidity purposes, to help provide for large unfunded pension liabilities and for research and development,”
David Healy
