DETROIT -- Ford Motor Co. executive Mark Fields will stop using the
company plane to fly home to Florida on the weekends, the automaker
confirmed today.
Fields, Ford's president of the Americas, told employees about the
change in a Thursday morning internal Web cast.
"He said he's made a decision to stop using the company aircraft for his
personal use," Ford spokesman Tom Hoyt said. "He doesn't want this or
any other issue to distract the team from its main mission, which is to
deliver the Way Forward plan and return our North American business to
profitability."
Starting this weekend, Fields will fly commercial, and the company will
cover that cost, Hoyt said.
