This is where it gets interesting. Amazon is funding this operation and the ATSG pilots will think of themselves as now doing the same type of flying as FedEx and UPS and should demand a FedEx/UPS comparable contract.
The question is will Amazon/ATSG pay up or will this lead to labor unrest as Amazon/ATSG tries to get this operation going in earnest.
