You get too expensive, whether that be because of pilot costs or not, it's not Amazon's problem. It's up to Atlas or ATI or whoever else is flying for Amazon to figure out how to make a profit. As long as the planes keep moving per the agreed upon prices Amazon is happy.
That's exactly what would happen in a pay for departure system. While I'm not sure if Amazon is currently operating that way, a whole lot of regionals do.
