Limited being the key word, Ichan can never own a controlling stake (no more than 15%) and there are other TWA 2.0 protections written into the Ichan Board member agreement.

Please, move on, how about we focus on running an on-time operation and our new contract to attract quality talent. Yes, the airline history cycle will change again, and if you can stop for a moment and look at the actual financial facts, B6 will be fine in the long run. It might actually have a bright future if the new leadership can actually execute a strategy unencumbered by Government intervention. Hopefully more to follow after the appeal outcome.

B6 pilots get a quality snap-up in August, focus on the next contract and being on-time😀
