You're thinking of Frank Lorenzo.
I'm wondering if the Billionaire Boys club got together to give JetBlue a little payback, Karl Icahn style. He made 75 million in one day on a 200 million investment.

Carl Icahn is not a rooster. He is a boa constrictor with a love of chicken, in the hen house. I have seen him up close and personal.

He pulled apart the profitable pieces (like JFK-LHR), sold them to his own company and then seats back to TWA in a complicated arrangement. As TWA sold more and more seats on the planes flying that route, they lost more and more money to his company. The least amount of total losses would have been to fly the planes empty. Yes, that screwy.

Default Magic 8 ball says...maybe

So Ichan raids B6?

Courts cause NK to file/liquidate?

WN buys F9, grows market share and the plumbers can finally get on the Bus?

What a crazy world we live in
