Jeff, I fear that like in many corporate mergers the company that is taken over looses it's identity. We only have to look at the Beaver Motor Coach take over by Monaco in 2000. One by one the people who knew anything about the coach were replaced by Monaco people. Last year the Beaver manufacturing site was closed. Now the Beaver coach is just another Monaco product with the Beaver logo. Is that the future for the Prevost Car Company? Unfortunatley it is about cost cutting and " lean " manufacturing....which is corporate speak for eliminating everything from quality control, engineering, and personnel who may have been working a long time with older benefit packages. The move from Detroit Diesel was made on the basis of economics and not in an attempt to improve the product! Ken
