BL: I still think FedEx is a great place to be. As far as WB pay numbers, it seems like those fluctuate with today's leader being tomorrow's trailer. One other consideration on pay rates is looking at what percentage of pilots are making widebody pay. At FedEx there are new hires getting 777, and 7-8 year guys getting WB captain pay. Is that happening at UAL?

As far as Amazon, one of the statistics I've heard is that no single customer makes up more than 3% of the revenue at FDX. I'm not sure how Amazon fits into that number, but I also know that Amazon's flex drivers probably won't be licensed or willing to carry the DG (Dangerous Goods) that we carry. My limited understanding is that a big part of the profit at FDX is DG and First Overnight, neither of which are going to be replaced by Amazon Flex drivers.
