So yea the assumption that Prime Air would smoke UPS and FDX in two years was certainly some crack pot claim.
I very well know the issues of staffing. However, if Atlas/Southern/ABX etc. gets a decent contract, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea. Keep in mind that Bezos has made his intentions clear about getting in bed with DHL and already has in some respects. DHL does more deliveries internationally than UPS and FedEx combined. As for the US, DHL pales in comparison to either one. Nevertheless, DHL does have an established US network. Combine that with dominance in international, then yes, it is quite plausible.....even without the crackpot factor.
