This is why I think the leadership should do a sale-leaseback of all unencumbered airplanes and do a stock buyback. Maybe drive up the stock price enough to get Carl to go away. If he can't extract money, he will go away.
Sure it leaves the airline riddled with debt and would possibly be insolvent at some point, but at least it stops the humiliation of being parted out by a vulture.
im just thinking out loud.
