According to the article linked, Trump wants the new CEO to make less than $500k/year. Yet, according to this article from 2019, the CFO, COO, general council & chief nuclear officer are all making well over that. Who the hell is going to take the CEO job? https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2019/nov/15/...

Are you kidding? Most people make $50k not $500k. Lots of existing CEO's don't even make $500k.

TWA has >8000 employees on LinkedIn & >$10B in revenue, getting a CEO who isn't making at a salary in the top 1% of US workers seems like a stretch.

  Trump acknowledged that he was made aware of the issue 
  after seeing a television ad ... that aired in prime time 
  on Fox News.
  ...
  The ad, Lynn said, had an “audience of one,” aiming to 
  persuade Trump to stop the TVA from outsourcing much of 
  its information technology division.

I wonder how many other Trump administration policy decisions can be linked back to an ad buy on Fox News...

This is nothing new. Take a political ad out on a major network it certain to get attention from any administration - even if just to look into the premise.
