So before you know it, Amazon will be using pilotless airplanes to hubs, to have the packages sent to homes by their drones. Oh no, they're gonna take over!

Or maybe they'll realize how difficult it is, and the effort is not worth the tiny profit margin. Or maybe they'll make a decent go of it, if they get the right team in place. Amazon has a reputation for decent pay, but of burning people out by overworking them. That doesn't work too well with pilots, who actually need to stay awake and halfway lucid, so maybe they'd better figure out the pilotless aircraft.

And their entire plan was put together in the last two weeks after Christmas. UPS failed them last year, and FedEx failed them this year by being unable to control the weather, so out of desperation, they just came up with this plan. Or not. Seems like they've been thinking about this for awhile, and if it fails, I'm sure they'll have someone other than management to blame. I doubt it has anything to do with thinking they can actually do a better job than their competitors. Someone thinks they have a way to make a buck, and who knows, maybe they do.
