There’s some big money investors (Ichan and Soros) betting on upside.

Or, maybe not🤔
Ichan and Soros. Two of the worst human beings to have ever walked this earth. The new face of JetBlue. Great.

Of course, he may have some entirely new tactics up his sleeve, but it does look like he'll have enough influence to be a thorn in the ELT's side, but not enough to take control of anything.

Just my interpretation, I could be way off.
Stop thinking like an airline pilot and start thinking like a corporate raider: fairly easy to control more shares indirectly via other entities, and/or coordinate with other shareholder blocks to effect whatever strategy you want to max out your share value short-term
