Default Interesting Carl Icahn interview

Thought some of the TWA boys might like this link. It seems that old Carl thinks CEO's make to much money.

It will never happen. The American media holds the CEO in such high regard, unlike the "frat boy" they really are. Let's make a list of the CEO's that have destroyed this profession.

1. Frank Lorenzo
2. Carl Icahn
3. Don Carthy?
3. Ed Acker

Remove Don Carty and insert Dick Ferris (UAL).

Carty was around during Sept 11 so he had help in bringing down AA. Ferris on the other hand was an "Empty Suit" who played ALPA into signing the "Blue Skies" agreement of the early 80's. He then tried to break ALPA with the strike of 1985. With the help of "Super Scab" John Ferg he hired "Fleet Quals" and "Pre Hires" to cross the picket line. He was not successful and a year or so later was ousted from the board.

A watchdog group is formally accusing billionaire investor Carl Icahn, an ally and special adviser to President Trump, of improperly lobbying while not officially registered to do so.

Public Citizen’s Wednesday complaint to Senate and House officials cites Icahn’s role in advocating for a change to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ethanol mandate, which would benefit a fuel refining company that he owns.

Trump named Icahn in December as a special adviser on regulatory policy, an unpaid position. Icahn owns Icahn Enterprises, which is the majority shareholder of CVR Energy, a fuel refiner that has to pay for ethanol blending credits.


Icahn has pushed for a change in EPA policy to make fuel wholesalers responsible for complying with the ethanol rules. The Trump administration is considering an executive order to implement that change, which Icahn has said would save his company hundreds of millions of dollars.
“The factual record shows that Mr. Icahn played a leading role shaping the Trump campaign’s position on the point of obligation for the [renewable fuel standard], and served to ‘vet’ candidates to run the EPA, the agency in charge of administrating the RFS,” Public Citizen, a left-leaning consumer advocacy organization, wrote in its complaint.

“It is not lobbying to advise a candidate, but once Trump became president, Trump then became a covered official subject to the lobbying disclosure law.”

Neither Icahn nor CVR has registered to lobby under the Lobbying Disclosure Act. Public Citizen is asking the House and Senate to formally investigate the matter.

A small amount of advocacy is allowed without registering, but the group said CVR and Icahn have likely exceeded that threshold.

Of course CEOs make too much money......

That leaves less for corporate raiders to get ahold of.
