Not sure what to think. It's always sad to see a good company get bought out (again). All I can think is that the next big company will end up making more money than the previous one, and how does that happen? Quality units with less warranty/recall work? Or cost-cutting and greed?

I wonder if this will wind up interfering with Blue Bird's "freedom" by not being associated with a parent company that builds its own chassis, such as Thomas/Freightliner. Anyone have any background on all the companies involved?
