Yes, I agree with Amazon being able to seek best rates, but Purple and UPS were forced to become single-carrier at one time. So should Purple and UPS start subcontracting out their flying to the lowest bidder? Sound's like a recipe for disaster. You can't just take anyone and throw them into a wide-body international jet.
