This is just another place he can get money out of and then move on, leaving us broke or jobless. In this case, I'm not willing to "take a breath" while people like him swoop in.

The company seems to making the right decisions for our recovery, so I hate to see all that tainted by some old, self serving hack thats going to die in the next few years.

How much power will one voice on a board of several have (if hes even given a seat at the table)?
At 87 years old, is Icahn actually running the show of "icahn enterprises" or is he just the face at this point?
Excuse my naivety

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.
