Amazon already has regional hubs all over the US and is opening a larger sort in KILN at the end of June. They used to sort like 3M lbs a night there. That should give him a good start.
Looked around the ramp in SDF the other night (and I’m positive MEM is the same). Do you realize the aircraft are just the tip of what’s required to run a logistics network? Look at all the equipment, vehicles, equipment maintenance, staffing, buildings, catering and people that make these things work. Just buying up a bunch of companies and throwing them together on paper doesn’t even start to describe the complexity.
