Duh. When did they hire that aerospace guy, BTW?

2006 I think.

Did he turn it or did he come later?

He did a large equity raise just before the credit markets froze up....paid off debts etc. He also got Ford moving into hybrids. Brilliant moves......very prescient. He's a hero now in the auto world.

That's why Obama went outside the auto world to get a new chair for GM's BOD. Too many dead end Rs in Detroit.....new blood was needed....badly.
