Air Illinois stock sale sparks boardroom row in Carbondale
Air Illinois investors dispute a Jabr group purchase of a large stock block. Board member Zimmer and executives insist ownership remains minority and not controlling. Ex president Dezendelet says Sabr Group could hold 51 percent with Hayes Fair Acres, while others deny the extent of control. Disputes over stock sale fairness and lack of tender offer feed resignations and board reshuffles as the airline nears 200000 passengers this year.
