Take aside the type of flying (cargo v major) - Where is the best place to be right now? I remember a decade ago that the likes of FDX was over and above the best paid, and most secure pilot job.

Now I was just peeking at the UAL contract and widebody pay is more? I haven't compared Retirement clauses yet, so that might be a game changer but also,

Is anyone at FDX concerned about emerging technologies that could impact the business model? I've read a Stanford Business Review (not the only) article that indicates traditional cargo is under a real threat from new entrants to the market.

Prime Air may not need as many airframes to get the same job done since they will supplement with drones, automated transport and thousands of AMAZON FLEX "Uber-like" independent operators (average joe driving his sedan or pick up) will also supply lift from the ground-based Distribution Center to provide same day/next day delivery.

In 5 years or less, we could be experiencing a round-the-clock movement of parcels that will completely satisfy at least a 2 day delivery algorithm without need for much airlift? It's part ways scary and fascinating but remember Blockbuster video?
