[PRCo] Re: Motor flashovers on PCC cars

[Boris Cefer]

I think we are getting a little off the subject...I believe the people 
heading large transit companies do not come to carry people and improve the 
service. They come to fill they pockets and then change the company before 
it becomes too hot. Now I see they do not use experts to help them in making 
important decisions - they use experts to put on responsibility for troubles 
when these occur as a result of bad decisions. These methods have been 
recently adopted here.
