wpckr......SMU is bringing over the guy who brought the ITS production up to speed, to do the 16G seats.

This is a promotion from within. the problem in my mind, is that the ITS only has about 10 parts.......the Seats have maybe 1,500 (per Townsend last year)......may simply be too complex for this set of managers to manage profitably.

In that case, because Stan Desjardins owns a controlling position, and is really and actually disengaged, and will never relieve or move aside Don Townsend, the company may NEVER realize on its commercial technology.

My sense of this is heightened when I read popular press articles touting the Volvo (Autoliv) "Curtain" as the next generation of head protection device.

Days like this do not help.
