The bottom line is Ichan sees value in JB, even if he gets a board seat it doesn’t mean he will sell it off but by bit. He don’t do it with eBay, he didn’t do it with Tropicana Casinos and he’s not doing it with the companies he currently has board seats and controlling interest in.
TWA was a mess, and TWA ALPA brought Icahn in! these are not the same times or the same situations.

Maybe everyone take a breath. Including me.
I hope you’re right. It’s tough to take a breath with so much on the line. I don’t know anything about the companies you quoted above, but isn’t the Tropicana in Vegas being torn down next year? I’m sure the senior hotel managers, dealers, etc aren’t excited to go sell beer in the stands at the new ballpark. Sometimes what’s good for some people is bad for others. Hopefully this is just much ado about nothing.
