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.
