Just read on BON that each Ford employee will be allowed to get one A-plan for a freind or neighbor. I sure hope this is true.

 

Fact - I got mine from someone at Ford that I've never met in person.


edit ... sorry, I thought this was about X-plans...

 

Yeah, sounds like the X plan not the A plan.

 

From FORD's A/Z plan site.

Eligible Family Members
Spouse
Parents
Spouse's parents
Sons and daughters (including in-laws and step-children)
Grandchildren

Note: When both the employee/retiree and his/her spouse are deceased, the surviving family members are no longer eligible.

Who's not eligible?

Family members of Surviving Spouses after the Surviving Spouse is deceased.

Hope this clears things up for you. BON is not a reliable source for real info. I qualify for A Plan, Wife's sister is a lifer at Dearborn.

 

The thread on BON started out with someone claiming that Ford employees received a letter saying that they would get 1 A plan PIN per year that they could give to anyone, not just family members.

He was saying that this is something brand new. I haven't followed the BON thread it so I don't know if anyone replied to say if it was true or bogus.

It could be some wise-guy trying to scam an A plan pin out of some Ford worker on BON.

 

I read the same and they seem to be sticking by it.

 

it would stink to work on the Mazda side of AAI, seems they can't use their discount plan for Ford products. Did I read that right?

 

My S-M at Dealer said last week about the A-plan question, "They are trying to work out the legalates of the agreement, at this time." I hope it goes through, I have a friend kind enough to give it to us, if it happens. Would save us, over $1,200 with taxes. Chrysler does it, why ford?
