And so... is Uncle Carl peeved?
For quite awhile now, I've noticed that lowestfare.com is no longer selling TWA tkts at 25% off the published fares. I also read that LFDC's Seattle office has closed and some 300 people lost their jobs. So how's Uncle Carl re-positioning himself in light of the acquisition? What kind of loss has he sustained (if any) and where does he go from here?

Possibly, but it may well just prove to be a write off agianst other future earnings and thus he'll recoup quite a bit in future tax savings! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/eek.gif

Can't say but...
Financier Carl Icahn offered on Friday to purchase VISX Inc. (EYE.N) in a cash deal valued at more than $1.84 billion, raising the stakes in his ongoing fight to force the laser eye correction equipment maker into a merger.
