How has Ichan fared with TWA?
After factoring in the time cost of money and everything else, how has Ichan done financially owith this airline that he's ruined?

Oh he HAS fared quite well with the Karabu ticket agreemtnt. Now that he can't leech off TWA anymore lowestfare.com may become another un-viable .com!

Yes, it seems he did VERY well - and but for the unfortunate crash off LI, nothing has possibly done more to "do in" the carrier and cause its' demise, than he personally ! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I gotta strongly disagree with these elementary analysis's. IMHO The-Carl "rescued" a drowning TWA, and then repeatedly raped-n-robbed it as TWA came outta its' self-induced (ie management and labor) coma. TWA was non-viable long before The-Carl stumbled across it and would of went Chapt 11 long ago except for him. They both undeservably benefitted.

So MisterNice & some chemistry types may perhaps refer to the native NY'er as "Carl the catalyst"! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
