If you are in the business of selling stuff and just want to move it cheaper I think the subcontractor is the way to go. If you are selling time like ups and fed ex you have to go in house. However much Amazon medals in the operations of these subcontractors at the end of the day they don’t have control or a lot of power to fix the problems. Look at what was going on with atlas not being able to staff and operate those airplanes. Eventually they got someone else to move the jets in ati and sun country but they probably had to listen to a parade of excuses and months went by before they got to that conclusion. I don’t think fed ex and ups in that business really have the kind of time to be jerked around like that where Amazon does if it save them money.
