Posted comments in the "Blue Bird nominated for manufacturer award" indicating that Bluebird had Consumer fraud verdicts against it and a verdict of failure to honor warranties. Just facts and proof. Why remove ?
We removed the comments because School Bus Fleet doesn't run this type of information about school bus manufacturers on its website or in the magazine.

Frankly, I don't see how the situation you reference which is 2+ years old is relevant to the story regarding Blue Bird's current situation as a manufacturer. Based on a quick review of the substance of all your posts it would appear you have an axe to grind regarding Cerberus and/or Blue Bird. This would be relevant to your motives for posting. It is certainly within SBF's right to censor posts such as yours for this reason.

I agree! I think BB had some problems but has come out on top, in my opinion. I think all these companies have had some problems. I believe that each has a different mission as it relates to the finished product. I think all three majors would not compromise safety of the students, period. But I believe the bottom line has been an issue with IC. I think as a subsidiary of a larger vehicle manufacture that the bus division is pressed to make money. Therefore they are going after the lease market. In this market the unit only has to last 3 to 10 years. After that it appears to get difficult to keep the units operating properly.
OK, the above illustration is an example of what a person can perceive that a company is about. I think it is very important that people who post here stick to the facts and don't run companies down just because. I know I have been one to run down IC in the past. I will tell you it is because I have had so much trouble and at the time of those posts I had continued to have an IC in the shop more than buses that were 10 years old and older. If you will notice I have not posted anything about IC lately because the three (approximately 20 percent of my fleet)units I have have been behaving themselves for quite some time. Heck, I might even sing their praises at some point in the future.
